Cubin II

About Cubin II

Cubin II is a first-person puzzle-platformer from Limsod Games, released March 30 2026 for PC. It follows the sequel’s story of escaping a twisted alternate LGA after your previous victory. You solve 50 increasingly complex experiments while teaming up with Alice, navigating physics-based puzzles and precision platforming. The game leans into its predecessor’s core loop but adds new movement mechanics like propelling through darkness and manipulating cubes. It’s a single-player challenge designed for players who enjoy high-stakes problem-solving with minimal hand-holding.

Gameplay

You spend most sessions fumbling through dimly lit experiments, using a cube to trigger switches and create paths. Controls are tight but demand precision, missteps mean restarts. Later levels introduce momentum-based jumps and environmental hazards that escalate the difficulty. Each puzzle requires trial and error, blending spatial reasoning with timing. The first-person view keeps things intimate, though visibility is often limited. Sessions feel tense, with a focus on exploration and pattern recognition. The game rewards patience but punishes carelessness, making progress feel earned.

What Players Think

PlayPile community ratings average 9.1/10, with 78% of players completing over 40 experiments. Average playtime is 13.5 hours, though 22% hit 20+ hours. Forum threads highlight the game’s “relentless difficulty spikes” but praise its creativity. One review notes, “The final third is brutal but worth it.” Achievement completion sits at 89% for most players, with the hardest unlock requiring a 100% experiment clear. Critics on Metacritic average 88/100, calling it “a masterclass in iterative design.”

PlayPile's Take

Cubin II is a must-play for fans of punishing puzzle-platformers. At $29.99, it offers strong value for its 50+ experiments and 20+ achievements. The steep learning curve might frustrate newcomers, but dedicated players will appreciate the escalation in complexity. If you enjoyed games like Portal or The Witness and don’t mind restarting levels repeatedly, this is for you. Just bring patience.
