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.
The European sequel to Sony's cube puzzler, pushing the pace and pressure on the player further under the name Kurushi Final. Still common on the PAL market, it owes its interest to the extension of a singular brain-teasing concept rather than scarcity. An affordable piece for anyone wanting to complete the line of this brisk Sony puzzle.
Is Kurushi Final still worth playing in 2026?
Kurushi Final is the enriched sequel to I.Q - Intelligent Qube with more complex puzzles and new cube types (with special effects like bounce or friction). More demanding than its predecessor, Sony's title will delight fans seeking additional strategic challenge. An excellent sequel to chain after the first today.
