“A good game , flows well , somewhat too short for me but good none the less, thank you. I do like these type of games”
“While I agree with others, that the puzzles were easier, then for example in The room, this was still really fun. The puzzles are more mechanical, than logical and in many cases, you just need to inspect every little…”
“A great "The Room-like" puzzle game. It is surprisingly polished, with fun puzzles and really pretty and cool box and puzzle ideas. So happy that there are more games like this! ^u^”

“Boxes is a visually stunning puzzle game with a decent story. It offers a modest challenge while keeping the experience concise and not overstaying it's welcome. Personal Rating: 4/5 Stars (Good).”

“I went into Boxes thinking, “oh cool, relaxing puzzle game, I’ll just open some boxes and feel smart.” Wrong. This game looked me dead in the eyes and said: “You are not as intelligent as you think.” First few levels?…”
“Game is really fun. The puzzles are challenging but not frustrating or too difficult. Once you get the rhythm of the game it goes smoothly. I would say the story cards are written kinda badly, a lot of repeating words…”

“fun little puzzle game that you can finish one one or a few sittings. some of the interactable objects are unclear or don't move as expected. but could just be dumb and there is a tool in game to help with is”

“Doesn't support Game pad but works well enough with touch screen. It's a short puzzle game that combines the logic and hidden object aspects of it genre and is well worth its often discounted price. Hoping for a sequel…”
“bought the game for like a dollar, worth it felt like an escape room with like 20 levels”
“Hard to believe how a puzzle game can be so relaxing and frustrating at the same time. It really makes you think and observe. A lot of trail and error as not all the moves are obvious. The good news is that there is…”

“It's alright for a first puzzle like game. If you played 'The Room' series this will be a cake walk and get quite boring due to easiness of all the puzzles. Half of them are even copy pasted, not sure how this doesn't…”
“Man I thought Boxes would be an evolution over Doors - their other puzzle game that is way too easy for its own good - and it is, in vibes, but the puzzles are marginally about the same level or worse I feel like it…”
“Too easy and I'm not a puzzling man. Graphics are OK. Not worth the 15 bucks.”

“Meh if its on sale buy it, its a nice looking puzzle game that takes a LOT of inspiration from the "The Room" games but in my opinion it falls flat with the puzzles and design of interactables. Either way still a good game so for a short couple hour mini puzzle adventure its…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“If you are a fan of The Room series, this will definitely feel familiar but nothing close to the puzzles and level of sophistication of that game. The puzzles are way to simple and predictable but no less satisfying at the end. Would recommend if you are in the puzzle mood and…”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“For a pure puzzle game, where boxes wins on visuals, it loses on actual puzzles. The interaction between the puzzles and the visual unfolding of the boxes is great, and searching for hidden compartments in the boxes or sliders etc. is fun, but the puzzles lack depth. Even with…”
