Hakosan

About

Hakosan is a puzzle game built around guiding three characters through increasingly complex levels. Each stage requires careful planning as you manipulate their movement paths to reach designated spots. The challenge lies in balancing timing and spatial reasoning, shifting platforms, avoiding obstacles, and syncing actions to ensure all three arrive safely. Controls are precise but demand practice, with later levels introducing layered mechanics that test problem-solving skills. The game’s minimalist visual style keeps focus on its clever puzzles, which range from straightforward to mind-bending. Though released in 2022 with no major updates since, its 78% critic score on Metacritic reflects solid design and a satisfying difficulty curve. While the single-player campaign is self-contained, the PlayStation 4 version lacks online features or community challenges. Best for players who enjoy methodical thinking over fast-paced action.
