Our take on Kenshō
The level-based puzzle format keeps the focus on moving blocks through discrete challenges, but offers less room for open-ended play than games built around exploration or multiple modes.
What is Kenshō?
Kenshō is a tile-sliding puzzle game set in a surreal world where nature, time, and space meet.
Players move blocks to solve puzzles and open doors from a ruined room into other worlds. Across 11 levels, the environments and weather conditions change, with obstacles including stones, borders, drones, and portals. The game presents a story involving natural disasters and destruction, alongside visual effects and landscapes such as jungles and stormy seas. Its original soundtrack contains 11 songs featuring instruments such as violin, piano, harmonica, and accordion.
