Steam review snapshots
Last year I loved Isles of Sea and Sky with its Zelda-like layout, and, this year, Lab Rat's humor and consistently fresh…There's a small subsection of puzzles called "Deduction" that lampoons Film Noir.Most puzzles boil down to moving a block onto a target tile, with the correct colors on its sides.Lab Rat isn't all that hard compared to the likes of Baba is You or Recursed, but the puzzles are quite satisfying…Why it fits
