\"\"<\/a>Solve switch based puzzles in circuits with Electronics Puzzle Lab.\u00a0 You might even learn a thing or two about electronics and circuitry along the way.\u00a0 Maybe.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

In each level you are presented with a circuit board and must solve a problem with it, usually turning a red light on.\u00a0 Later levels you might have to turn several red lights on, or avoid turning any blue lights on, etc.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have a battery and lines to show you where the power goes, and there are switches and other nodes to watch out for.\u00a0 When you solve a puzzle you can move onto the next.\u00a0 Simply move a cursor around the screen and press the button to flip switches.\u00a0 If you forget what something does, you can read up on it in the options menu.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if this game would be considered educational on its own.\u00a0 I think you would need some prior knowledge of how this stuff works or a supplement book on electronics or whatever.\u00a0 After a set of levels, they introduce a new node and give you a puzzle, and I just guess which switch to hit and then they say, \u201cNow you understand how it works.\u201d\u00a0 Well, not really.\u00a0 And once I got to the puzzles that combined nodes that do the opposite of the switches and the ones that combine inputs, my brain just turned off.\u00a0 But then, I\u2019m not very good at a lot of math and science stuff.\u00a0 I bet my dad would like this game, as he studied electrical engineering in college.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 I would say this game is only educational with some prior knowledge or other learning materials.\u00a0 But it would be good for kids to learn this kind of stuff because of the way the world is going now.\u00a0 Strong reading skill is needed and because of the challenge I think this one is best for older kids.\u00a0 Electronics Puzzle Lab is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
