A refined sequel to the concept, it pushes the tempo and the variety of grids further without easing the demands. Anticipating rows of cubes, planning your captures and keeping a cool head as the tempo climbs stay at the heart of the experience. Elegant and formidable, this action puzzle appeals to those who want to test their logic and nerves in equal measure.
Complete: box, manual and disc/cart very clean. Lightly handled.

Is I.Q Final still worth playing in 2026?
A puzzle from Sony and G-Artists, I.Q Final refines the Intelligent Qube concept by advancing the player on a platform where they must capture and destroy cubes rolling towards them before being crushed. The mathematical tension, the anticipation and the purity of the concept stay fearsomely effective and timeless. The clean production favours mechanics over spectacle. A demanding, hypnotic puzzle to recommend for fans of thinking under pressure and elegant concepts.
