Threes is a highly addictive and charming puzzle game that has been well-received since its original release, now perfectly adapted for PC with smooth gameplay and a delightful soundtrack.
The game offers a nostalgic experience for players who enjoyed it on mobile, featuring intuitive mechanics and a minimalist design that enhances the overall enjoyment.
As the original game that inspired many clones, Threes stands out with its unique charm, cute tile designs, and thoughtful gameplay that keeps players engaged for hours.

Some players may find the game overpriced, especially if they are not as invested in mastering its mechanics or if they already own the mobile version.
The PC port lacks certain features like ultrawide monitor support and customizable settings, which could enhance the overall experience.
The learning curve can be steep, making it difficult for new players to progress quickly, which might deter those looking for a more casual gaming experience.

The music in the game has received high praise for its relaxing and charming qualities, particularly the new lo-fi track by Big Giant Circles, which enhances the overall experience. Players appreciate the unique personalities of the tiles, complemented by a smooth and enjoyable soundtrack that makes the game meditative yet challenging. However, some users expressed a desire for more customizable audio settings, such as volume control and the ability to toggle between different tracks.
- “The tiles have cute voices and faces, each with their own personality, and the music (by Big Giant Circles, known from Just Shapes & Beats among many others) is some of the most relaxing music in gaming.”
- “Combines the best elements of Tetris and a Rubik's Cube: it is a meditative, yet challenging experience, especially now with the new lo-fi soundtrack in dark mode.”
- “Great game, great soundtrack, easy to spend two minutes or two years on.”
- “While the new night mode song is great, it would be nice if that could be toggled in settings for an original experience.”
- “Obviously for such a simple game, you wouldn't really expect a crazy number of settings but it would still be nice at the very least if you could pick a resolution instead of only fullscreen or not and no volume options (we can toggle music and sound effects separately on or off but can't say make the music quieter while keeping SFX at full volume).”
- “The original releases used the same song regardless.”
