ReThink | Evolved 5 is a Puzzle Game in a peaceful futuristic setting, that features a variety of Puzzles that utilize Lasers and the behavior of light and it's colors to create challenging problems to solve.
Use proven and some new gameplay mechanics to puzzle your way through the game's beautiful world, which is now filled with even more puzzles than in previous games.
Lots of Content:
ReThink | Evolved 5 features more than 50 Puzzles that make use of newly introduced features and old ones alike, to keep the gears in your head turning.New and improved gameplay elements:
The "Evolved" branch of the ReThink Series always had the most features, this game is no different.It comes with almost every feature known from the previous 4 games, often improves them and then adds some new things on top.
Less linear progress:
Unlike previous games, in ReThink | Evolved 5 you are often more free to go where you want within an area, letting you decide which path you want to take, what puzzles to solve first.Improved Levels:
ReThink | Evolved 5 comes with the largest Levels of any of the ReThink games, as was requested by Feedback in the past, therefore reducing level transitions to a minimum while conveying a sense of scale and place.What you see, is what you get: If you see a Puzzle that you can not access yet, you will eventually get there, as is normal for the ReThink games.
Overall improved features:
While the game does not reinvent the wheel, it improves the gameplay and usability through a variety of changes and additions.Many of these changes are aimed at giving players a greater tolerance when handling cubes and solving puzzles, improving the overall feeling of the game.
Improved Graphics:
Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, ReThink | Evolved 5 looks better than the previous games, while still running "as usual" on older systems when the new graphics are disabled.Fully dynamic Global Illumination makes the simplistic style of the game shine, while not limiting player actions or Puzzles like previous lighting methods would have.
Additional Soundtrack:
Players wanted one, now they got one.There is now a choice between the games original Soundtrack, and the new one introduced with ReThink 4.
