Helix: Descent N Ascent is a game that many people will undoubtedly pass over because they have never heard of it, but this game certainly deserves attention. The unique graphics exude a certain quality that I haven't seen very often, and the game's puzzles and gameplay also score remarkably well with me. You will be finished in just under ten hours, and the limitations lie mainly in the thinking required for some of the slightly more difficult puzzles. The game offers some challenge here and there, but never becomes too difficult, and the constantly expanding environments you play in, which open up via unlockable abilities, certainly have their charm. This puzzle game is therefore a must-have for every enthusiast.

Helix: Descent N Ascent is an elegant and striking puzzle game set in a world of black n white sketches of passageways and ruins with a postgame that’s brought down by bugs. The hand-drawn art and animation are immediately captivating, and the soundscape is equal parts disquieting and sensorially satisfying. The toolset builds ingeniously. In those intervening moments between the bottleneck and the breakthrough, no matter how long it takes, I am purely mindful and at peace: studying, probing, imagining, experimenting. I know the answer is in front of me, waiting there, ready for the spark.
Helix: Descent N Ascent is a visually stunning and cleverly designed puzzle game that encourages you to think outside the box through the combinations of your main abilities. Even if you don't always know exactly where or how to proceed next you can always find a way at least through trial & error and aside from a few minor bugs before release I had an incredibly good time with the game.
