ReThink | Evolved 2
As fun and compelling as the previous. The bigger levels are imposing but upon solving or watching the French kid solve them on youtube, they are very logical. Know that some lights don’t care what color they are lit with while others are picky and watch for the mirror surfaces, all of them are there for a reason. Keep in mind these levels are interconnected so you might have to get resources from the last level into the next one.
Love how the boxes show the multiple target sites, have gotten used to this from the first one and think I’m doing alot better!

Great button and cube puzzler with light reflection optics added - if you like games like Talon Principle or Portal, give this a try - it has very little in the way of story, just a collection of puzzles, but it is satisfying. The interior graphics are beautiful, very crisp and believable modern decor, and the mood is very relaxing. I found myself pausing to view a sunset or moonrise out of the windows.
Only real drawback is the lack of a storyline - in fact, if the developers had added an AI type character to control testing (earning release to the outside world), this could easily have elevated story-richness and broaden the game’s appeal due to the fact that the game already has the player navigating through rooms in a sequence while being teased with tantalizingly beautiful exterior views of a city and flying vehicles which you do not seem to be able to reach.

ReThink | Evolved 3
DISCLAIMER : I helped testing this game, and received a free key from the developer. Opinions expressed here are mine, but take them with a grain of salt anyway.
Rethink Evolved 3 is pretty good IMO. If you come from the other games in the series you’ll be right at home. Expect a game that’s maybe easier than the previous titles, but with some cool new ideas and mechanics like color screens decomposing the colors of your lasers, and colored crystals serving as power sources of the lasers that you can swap.

A new puzzler in the ReThink series: This means the visuals are deceptively simple in design, but very elegant and just beautiful. You need to use cubes, with various functions - linear redirect, fork, 3 fork, switch between forks etc. - to redirect coloured laser light to specific “detectors” to open glass doors to access the next puzzle. As with the previous games, you are able to e.g. split white light into its R,G,B components, and several puzzles make clever use of combining light colours, redirect that to a certain place, to then split it again.

ReThink | Evolved 4
This is the seventh game in the ReThink franchise and the fourth game in the ReThink | Evolved series, and this is definitely the best one so far. Some new cubes and new mechanics have been added which allow for more complex puzzles than previous games, and they definitely added to my enjoyment.
The core concept of the ReThink games is to light a series of colored targets with laser light. How you combine the lasers to achieve the correct colors and how you place and angle the lasers to hit the correct targets is up to you. Sometimes the puzzles are easy, sometimes the puzzles are difficult, and sometimes the puzzles are quite tricky. There were many times when I was scratching my head for a bit and finally had the “Aha!” moment, which was very fulfilling. Also, from what I recall of the previous games in the franchise, this one is more spacious, with many of the puzzles spanning several sections.

Another good puzzle game by Yaeko. Compered to previous Rethink games (I played most of the franchise) this one has many new cool features and the puzzles are a bit harder. If you haven’t played any of the Rethink games before, I wouldn’t start with this one. See you all on Rethink 5

ReThink | Evolved
So, I know puzzle games are supposed to be puzzling, but the difficulty ramp in this game is a bit extreme. Literally you go through 3 or 4 trivial rooms then hit a gigantic puzzle room with multiple targets, auto-catapults, and elevators. Not the best design choice, in my opinion. There seems to be an assumption that mechanics and design are familiar, but I don’t think that first “real” puzzle has been properly trained for.
That said, for the most part the rest of the game is fun, though I’ve had to look through some walkthroughs as some of the manipulatable targets are simply plain black tiles that blend into the wall graphics.

This is a beautifully rendered logic game that fans of Portal will enjoy for the chance to solve more button and cube tests within a pristine futuristic architecture but with the clever addition of light puzzles - reflection, redirection, addition & subtraction of colors. You are in a building made of glass and panels, you can see the outside world with busy aircars bustling about but until you solve the puzzles, you are on your own - no GladOS, Wheatley or announcer, and no real chance of death. The music is very relaxing and will stay with you, and the architecture is so beautiful that I often just stand in various spots and enjoy it (there’s the pity that it can’t be visited!). The Evolved series differs from the other ReThink series in that you have full ability to place and point cubes anywhere rather than just at designated spots.

ReThink 2
Pros: Excellent game series as always. The puzzles are much more difficult. I love these first person puzzle games.
Best price in the genre at $10
10/10
Cons:
I quit at lvl 40, it just seems too hard after several days.
EDIT: I beat lvl 40 finally realizing what I missed, will continue on
Game has laser glitches where changing a laser cube may leave connected laser colors that shouldn’t be allowed to stay within the game rules.

Got stuck on room 40 for anywhere from 2-4 hours, got bored and softlocked myself into room 39 using a laser from room 40. I’m just going to assume that’s how the game was meant to end, since I’m not smart enough to figure out 40’s actual solution and my pride doesn’t allow yet for looking up solutions externally.
The first ReThink was easy enough that I assumed later games would similarly be walks in the park, but I cannot salute the developer enough for constantly finding ways to consistently step up the difficulty in every iteration. If you like indie first-person puzzlers, get every game in this series. The mechanics are simple enough to grasp, but still offer a lot of challenge.

ReThink 3
Another great entry to Yaeko’s Rethink franchise.Playing Rethink games personally make me happy and sometimes moved just because of the great soundtrack no matter how often I hear and because of the feeling of loneliness it carries .Only your beautiful mind and futuristic,polished environment full of colors befriend you during the game.Nicely done,recommended to everyone.

It’s an impossible task to please EVERYBODY while at the same time playing catch up with technological advances, being there for tech support and at the same time creating something new to the franchise, but that’s exactly what he seems to have done. He has been trying to please everybody.

I’m used to FPP games (First Person Puzzle if you need a translation). Completed the Talos Principle, the Portal series and its main mods (Tag, Mel before the story mode patch), Q.U.B.E., Antichamber, the Witness, some others I forgot the name of (Magnetic Cage Closed? something like that)…
So when I saw that game in the store, I was: “oh, seems nice, I should try it”. Then I did.
And honestly? I don’t regret it.
When I first played the game, I noticed one downside: no rebindable keys. Asked about it in the forum, it got patched in (and fixed) in the following days. So now, I don’t see any problem.
