• Not recommended Posted April 3, 2026 on Steam 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 multiple levels, they never increase in difficulty much beyond basic shape matching, which constitutes what felt to me like about 90% of all the puzzles in the game. I’m honestly fine with linear gameplay or the absence of story or music in a puzzle game, but if the puzzles aren't challenging, it simply doesn't get a recommendation from me based solely on having okay visuals. I'd advise people to look elsewhere than this game.
• Recommended Posted February 3, 2026 on Steam [i]Boxes: Lost Fragments is a puzzle/escape room game similar to the “The Room” series.[/i] The game begins with our character getting trapped in a mysterious tower, trying to solve puzzle boxes in order to eventually escape. The game is divided into five chapters, each with four puzzles for a total of 20 unique boxes to solve. The puzzles aren't very challenging and fairly easy overall, but the art style, the creativity, and the love for details of each box still kept me interested. [b]The game took me about 3 hours to complete on 100%, and while it wasn't the most challenging puzzle game, I would still recommend it to anyone who enjoys solving puzzles, even though I would wait for a sale.[/b]
• Recommended Posted May 14, 2026 on Steam What a great little game. Plays similarly to "The Room" series of games, as you can probably tell from the visuals, but the puzzles are VERY easy compared to The Room. This game is much more of a chilled playthrough... When solving it feels like "Flow"... you pretty much know what to do and just float from one puzzle to the next, clicking, swiping and rotating. Most of the puzzles involve the same sort of solutions... But there are a couple with require a keen eye here or there. A very enjoyable playthrough. The model designers really earned their pay on this. Nice spooky music / sound FX too, but doesn't break you out of the "Flow". Very much a thumbs-up, but don't expect a challenge, this is much more relaxed.
• Not recommended Posted June 8, 2025 on Steam 💬 Review: The Room... only in thinner packaging I was genuinely torn about whether or not to recommend this game. As a long-time fan of The Room series, I couldn't help but measure Boxes: Lost Fragments against that gold standard — and sadly, it falls noticeably short. The most significant issue? It simply has too much of the feel of a shallow clone of The Room. I rarely felt like I had actually solved a puzzle because most of them are so obvious. Rather, it feels more like a seamless journey with few significant challenges or gratifying "Aha" moments. This lacks much of the kind of ingenious mechanical design and painstaking puzzle craftsmanship that made The Room so unique. It appears that quantity has trumped quality. There were very few sections that provided any genuine challenge or feeling of achievement. What does deserve praise: Visually, the game is absolutely stunning. The sound design is immersive and well-crafted. Players unfamiliar with The Room might actually find this to be a fun entry into the genre. But for veterans of the genre, it feels like a tribute that never quite finds its own identity. 🎯 Conclusion I don’t want to discredit the developers because the effort is clear, and there’s real potential here. But to truly shine, the game needs more originality and puzzles with real bite. New to puzzle games? This might be a gentle way in. Fan of The Room? Sadly, this won’t scratch the same itch.
• Recommended Posted September 9, 2025 on Steam Boxe: Lost Fragments is a nice and relaxing point-and-click puzzle game. The puzzles are on the easy side.
• Not recommended Posted February 24, 2026 on Steam 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 count as theft. If you played other puzzle games skip this one or don't spend more than 1 euro.
