Temari Trials: Dojo’s Test Review | TheXboxHub
Temari Trials: Dojo's Test is a clever puzzle game that blends Sokoban mechanics with sliding puzzles and elements inspired by snooker. While it doesn't entirely escape the genre's inherent repetition, its innovative additions and polished presentation make it a worthwhile experience for puzzle enthusiasts, especially at its price point.
Jewel Match Solitaire X Review | TheXboxHub
Jewel Match Solitaire X offers a vast amount of Solitaire content, including a new sliding puzzle mode and numerous bonus games like Mahjong and Match-2. While it provides substantial gameplay for its price, the review notes a lack of significant innovation from previous titles in the Jewel Match series, suggesting it may not convert new players but will satisfy existing fans with its sheer volume of puzzles.
Monty the Play Bear Review | TheXboxHub
Monty the Play Bear is a sliding puzzle game with a unique rockabilly soundtrack and a crayon-drawing art style. While it introduces mechanics like LEGO bricks and toy cars, the game ultimately feels familiar and lacks an undo button, making it a forgettable experience despite its charming elements.

Magnetail is a hybrid sliding puzzle and sokoban game from Afil Games that introduces magnets to shift blocks. While the magnetic mechanic offers a fresh twist on the genre, the review suggests it doesn't fully explore its potential, leading to a generally lower difficulty curve compared to similar titles. The game is available on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.

Split Crystal is a puzzle game from Afil Games that innovates on the sliding puzzle genre by allowing players to split and merge blocks. The reviewer finds this mechanic to be the most satisfying and creative of Afil Games' recent titles, offering multiple solutions and encouraging player expression. The game is available on Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC.
Damways Review | TheXboxHub
Damways is a sliding puzzle game where players control a beaver that slides until it hits a wall. The game introduces a unique mechanic where players can place planks to create dams, acting as new walls to solve increasingly complex puzzles. While innovative, the build-your-own-walls mechanic can become repetitive, and the game lacks additional mechanics to maintain interest beyond its core concept.
Chico’s Delivery Review | TheXboxHub
Chico's Delivery is a sliding puzzle game where players guide a chicken waiter to deliver pizzas while navigating arenas with move counters and interactive elements. Despite some new mechanics like pop-up seats and portals, the game is considered functional but ultimately familiar and mediocre, failing to fully escape accusations of being shovelware. The review notes that while the puzzle design is decent, the lack of an undo feature and limited replayability are notable omissions.
Slide Viking: Treasure’s Path Review | TheXboxHub
Slide Viking: Treasure's Path is a sokoban (crate-pushing) puzzle game from Afil Games, diverging from its predecessor's sliding puzzle mechanics.

Sokobear Cave Review | TheXboxHub
Sokobear Cave is a competent puzzle game that blends Sokoban mechanics with sliding puzzles, offering a novel experience on Xbox platforms. While the game introduces interesting mechanics like toppling stalagmites and multi-gem puzzles, its presentation is hampered by an overly dark visual filter that makes details difficult to discern.

Slide Viking is a sliding puzzle game from Afil Games that offers a more complex experience than typical titles in the genre. It features 30 levels where players guide a viking head to treasure chests, incorporating mechanics like axes that remove colored blocks and requiring strategic ordering of actions.
