GraviFire
In conclusion, Gravifire surprised me with how addictive it was. I have reviewed game after game of sokoban inspired titles, and most of them don’t really do much to engage after a couple of levels. But Gravifire’s pick up and play levels and fun gravity mechanics really grabbed me, and the solid controls led to this being a super fun romp to play through!

The gameplay is characterized by its simple yet enjoyable mechanics, featuring a charming pixel art style and a unique gravity-changing system that enhances the puzzle-solving experience. Players control a green alien in a body suit, engaging in block-pushing challenges reminiscent of sliding puzzles. While the levels are fun and easy to pick up, some reviewers noted that the lack of in-depth mechanics may limit replay value.
“The gameplay is simple but fun, and the space feel adds to the experience.”
“Puzzle game with very interesting mechanics and charming pixel art.”
“Gravifire’s pick-up-and-play levels and fun gravity mechanics really grabbed me, and the solid controls led to this being a super fun romp to play through!”
“The lack of in-depth mechanics affects replay value.”
“Block pushing comes into play by directly controlling a green alien trapped inside a strong bodysuit, allowing you to move objects around. However, the gravity-changing mechanic moves all the crates in the same direction at the same time, which makes it feel similar to sliding puzzlers.”

Shifting boxes is tough, unless you have gravity to do the work for you. Avoid the lasers and get those crates where they should be. + Nice retro look. + Arcade inspired audio. + Straightforward to learn. + Easy to control. - Lack of in-depth mechanics affect replay value. (Reviewed on the Xbox Series X. Also available on PC, Linus, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.)
