Splice Review – Moving Cells (PS4)

Splice originally released for the PC, iOS and Android platforms back in 2012. This puzzle title comes from Cipher Prime, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, based developer with a penchant for titles with interesting visual and aural design.

Splice is not different. While it’s a puzzle game first, this is an experiment in sight and sound as well. Perhaps those latter components are what attracted me to it…

  • Simplistic and stylistic presentation
  • A brilliant soundtrack
  • A strong port from PC to console
  • Relaxing approach for those looking for downtime
  • Not much content in the package beyond the puzzles
  • Mechanics never "click" in the way great puzzle games should
  • This is the most expensive version at $14.99
