Is Ultimate QIX still worth playing in 2026?

A conquest puzzler from Taito, Ultimate QIX has you draw lines to mark off and capture portions of the screen while avoiding a moving opponent, in a reworking of the QIX concept. The simple but tense mechanic, where every drawn line is a gamble, keeps a timeless charm and real addictiveness. The presentation stays spare and the concept a touch austere. A safe bet of retro abstract puzzling, worth recommending to fans of risk-taking brain-teasers and scoring.
