Hexdoku offers a fresh and engaging twist on traditional Sudoku with its hexagonal grid and shape-based gameplay, providing a new level of challenge and strategic thinking.
The minimalist interface is clean and pleasant, allowing players to focus on solving puzzles without distractions, and the game features various difficulty levels to cater to different skill levels.
Players appreciate the fun and challenging puzzles, along with the soothing music and the bonus level that adds a nice touch after completing the main puzzles.

The game lacks helpful hints for beginners, which may frustrate new players and could lead to a steeper learning curve.
Some players find the graphics to be dated and lackluster, feeling that the minimalist art style comes off as lazy rather than artistic.
The tutorial is insufficient in explaining the game mechanics, and certain features, like the right mouse button helper, can be counterintuitive and frustrating to use.
