"Sokobond introduces complexity via level furniture that breaks bonds or lets you adjust the position of bonded atoms, but even the basic chambers provide ingenious challenges. Forget chemistry: it takes alchemy to produce a puzzle game as refined and smart as this."

 – 9 / 10Edge Online

"In a word, Sokobond is elegant. It is elegant in its concept, it is elegant in its aesthetic direction, and it is elegant in its puzzle design. It starts out using only a few simple rules, builds on those, and eventually combines it all to become quite challenging."

8 / 10Destructoid

"Tricky from the start, but never unfair, you’ll find yourself accidentally learning things about chemistry as you negotiate levels that require no previous knowledge at all. It’s charming, extremely cleanly presented, and very entertaining."

"Sokobond is a beautiful game. It treats you as an equal, giving you the sense of achievement that comes with having worked out all its intricacies for yourself. It's innately pleasurable to interact with, and it's built upon a masterfully original game design that feels timeless - probably because its base rules are so fundamental. This is a game about the beauty of science, and most puzzle games can learn from its findings."
