Steam Makes 96% Positive Puzzle Game Completely Free

Hexologic, a relaxing logic puzzle game from developer MythicOwl, is currently available for free on Steam. The game, which puts a hexagonal twist on Sudoku mechanics, is normally priced at around $5, but Steam is offering it free to keep until Saturday, October 31 at 10 a.m. PT. The game has earned a 96% positive rating from players, reflecting strong community appreciation for its design.

The game targets players seeking a digestible puzzle experience—something less demanding than sprawling single-player adventures but still engaging. Hexologic fits within a broader landscape of acclaimed puzzle games that emphasize clever problem-solving, from environmental challenges in Portal 2 to abstract logic in Baba Is You.

This free promotion represents a typical Steam strategy where developers or platform partners make popular games available at no cost for limited periods, serving as an opportunity to introduce new players to titles they might otherwise overlook. For fans of number puzzles and relaxing gameplay, this is a limited-time opportunity to permanently add the title to their library.
