Solomon's Key 2—or Fire and Ice, depending on where you're from—is one of those NES puzzlers that looks simple until you're five levels deep, sweating over block placements. You play as this little wizard dude who can create and destroy blocks to navigate rooms full of enemies and traps. The first few screens trick you into thinking it's chill, but then the ice physics kick in and suddenly you're sliding into spikes like "oh, so that's how it's gonna be."

It's got that classic Euro difficulty curve—fair but brutal if you rush. The music’s weirdly catchy too, even when you’re retrying the same room for the 10th time. If you liked the first Solomon’s Key or just enjoy methodical, "throw-your-controller" puzzle-platformers, this one’s a hidden gem. Just don’t blame me when the ice levels happen.
