Hexic 2

Hexic 2 is a puzzle game where the player manipulates hexagonal "gems" of various colours on a board. Gems are moved by rotating them in groups of three. If the player's actions result in a set of three or more coloured gems that each border more than one edge of each other, that set is removed from the board. Each colour has a meter on the board which accumulates every time a corresponding match is made; when a meter is full, the player can deplete it and prepare "attacks" on the board.

Additionally, the player can create special gems with other patterns. An Emerald can be created by lining up five adjacent gems, which allows the players to flip gems on both sides of it. Starflowers can be created with a ring of six gems. A row of five Starflowers can be used to create a Ruby, which manipulates four gems on two sides adjacent to it. The ultimate piece is a Black Pearl, which allows the player to manipulate three adjacent gems.

Video game aggregator site Metacritic stated that the game received "mixed or average" reviews.

IGN reviewer David Craddock called the price of the game "outrageous" when the predecessor was free. While Eurogamer reviewer Kristan Reed stated that it "doesn't add all that much", he thought that there were "just about enough tweaks and changes" to make it worth purchasing.
