  Despite its hair-pulling moments, Induction really is a stellar example of taking a simple concept, building upon it incrementally through each level, and pumping your fist in the air or jumping for joy with each tall hurdle you’re able to leap over. Coupled with that minimalist style, you’ll find that the juice is worth the squeeze.

  Overall, Induction is a simple yet clever puzzle title with a unique concept. Don’t let the relaxing music and pastel tones fool you; this is one tough game! Replayability is minimal, but there are some real brain teasers in here for those ready to accept the challenge.

  In the end, I probably won’t be going back to Induction because eventually, every level I solved felt like a difficult chore with nearly no reward. The level of difficulty will likely throw casual gamers off, but if you enjoy solving puzzles that will make your brain hurt, then this might be for you. Looking at its level design, lovely soundtrack and level aesthetic, Induction is a great puzzle game for those looking to spend a serious amount of time on it.

  You will do things that make you feel like a genius just for thinking of them. Sometimes these things will scare you a bit for the same reason. This is normal. My advice to those interested in this game is to free up several hours after your initial install. Induction may not look it, but this is a game that will scramble your timeline as freely as its own.

  Induction encourages players to consider cause and effect in each of its carefully crafted, time-bending puzzles. Though some mechanics could have used some explanation, it’s certainly no puzzle that fans of the genre should give this game a go.

  8.0

  A challenging yet deeply satisfying puzzle game that’s about creating time bending paradoxes, Induction has finally made its way to consoles. If you’re up for a challenge, this title will test your grey matter more than anything else on the Nintendo Switch.
