- If you’re looking for a puzzle game that’s a little different and a little chill (ha!), it’s definitely worth your time to do a little slippin’ and slidin’ with Puzzle Retreat. Despite its icy atmosphere, Puzzle Retreat’s footing is solid.
- 8.0Given such a high level of difficulty, Puzzle Retreat should last many players quite a while, providing they don’t mind that the sole competition involved is with themselves. It's immensely simple, but Puzzle Retreat offers plenty of puzzling conundrums for the ardent fan, even if it lacks some common gaming features.
- 6.0...Puzzle Retreat is still a nice challenging puzzler, but it offers nothing special to really draw you into its world, and its puzzles aren’t so inventive or mind-boggling for you to go and tell your friends about. While it does offer a few welcomed features like the in-game help boards, and even though everything is pretty technologically sound, this average title is just as likely to just give players a case of brain freeze as it is some cool winter puzzle fun.
- 7.0Where the game falls down is in its lack of variety and excitement. While there are a couple more extra elements stirred in as you progress - such as diverting arrow blocks and fire blocks that melt ice blocks - the level design is pretty uniform. Puzzle Retreat is a well-conceived casual puzzler whose only flaws are a lack of spark and variety.
- 8.0The Voxel Agents strip things back for Puzzle Retreat and the end result is a zen-like block-sliding experience with a restrained, relaxing presentation.
