Order of the Sinking Star

The concept

The game offers more than 1,000 hand-crafted Sokoban-style puzzles: you push blocks around a grid seen from above. Four worlds, each with its own heroes, rules and story, gradually merge in a vast overworld, and their mechanics combine into new puzzles (Arc Games, GameSpot).

What the reviews say

DualShockers (8/10) calls it the most unique puzzle game it has ever played, with engaging mechanics and an expansive world. Steam Deck HQ (9/10 for content) praises the puzzle design and reports 60 fps in most areas on Steam Deck. GameSpot (8/10, not counted here because its platform was not verified) praises the tight puzzle design and the generous undo feature.

The criticism

The Wand Report (4/10) is very harsh. It describes a bloated Sokoban that is more laborious than fun, and criticises the game for reworking designs by Alan Hazelden, Jonah Ostroff and Sean Barrett while crediting them poorly. DualShockers finds it almost too long, with disjointed storytelling. GameSpot also mentions an at-times overwhelming size and a thin plot.

Prices

As of 11 November 2026, the game costs €30.49 on Steam and the Nintendo eShop (Switch 2), and €29.99 on the PlayStation Store (PS5). Text is available in French, but voices are English only.

Who is it for?

Patient fans of demanding puzzles. Players looking for a short game or a clear story may burn out.
