Excellent game. I appreciate a puzzle game that actually puzzles me. This game is fantastic to play whenever your brain needs a little help breaking out of its little entrenched patterns or the endless circling thoughts that it can get into with a repetitive job or under stress. I first played The Guides awhile ago, so I enjoy the recent additional content coming back to it now. I do miss the extra complexity of additional forking solution paths, but it's easier to track progress now.

I played the free Guides Axiom first. So fun. So hard. I bought this because the developers deserved $ for their excellent work. No rush. Just Figure It Out. I use a notepad. They wanted a review, and I am only half done! 5 stars. Math, science, cyphers, puzzles, where is Waldo? This game is it. Example: Guides, Sec 2 Level 25, subtract 64 to generate HYPERSPACE is Not the answer. LMAO. What an excellent distraction and hard to think past. & the correct answer is right there in front of you.

Engaging puzzles in a world with deep lore. If you like challenging puzzles with a story, play this game.

Too obtuse, and the UI is extremely clunky.
★★☆☆☆Jamie Javier· Sep 24, 2020
I tried The Guides: Axiom before and I enjoyed that, which led me to install this game. I was expecting a similar navigation, unfortunately this installment was a mess compared to Axiom that I didn't bother working through the puzzles. Unlike Axiom, this version was a UX mess: there's no indicator that you've cleared a level, and when levels are connected, it's so hard to remember which level to go back to without selecting them one by one.
