Review consensus
Order of the Sinking Star is an exceptionally ambitious puzzle adventure built around four interconnected Sokoban-style worlds, each with distinct mechanics that eventually combine into increasingly elaborate challenges. Reviewers consistently praise its inventive puzzle design, polished presentation, flexible progression, and enormous amount of content. However, the same scale that makes it impressive can also make it exhausting: extended sessions may feel repetitive, the block-pushing foundation can lose momentum, and the dialogue and characters do not always provide a strong narrative hook. It is a rewarding but demanding experience best suited to dedicated puzzle enthusiasts.
