Sonority review - “Musical puzzler masterpiece”

  • An enchanting world
  • Challenging music-based puzzles
  • Collect new music notes and interact with living stones

As a seasoned gamer with a heart for rhythm-based titles and a soul yearning for intricate puzzles, Sonority has become my newest obsession. From the moment I laid eyes on Esther, sitting cross-legged by a campfire, I knew this wasn’t just another game – it was an adventure waiting to unfold.


For many years, the genre of rhythm games has remained popular, with titles like Rockband and Beat Saber leading the way. Unlike most games in this category, Sonority offers a unique twist by combining elements of rhythm games and puzzles. This innovative blend results in a visually stunning and distinct gaming experience.

Sonority’s Story

You play as Esther – a young woman who is on a quest to learn a magic tune. Her friend, Batama (a talking bear), told her stories of a place where animals and humans can communicate, and magical music can be learned. With Batama having fallen ill, Esther is certain the key to saving him lies in this mythical place. After a month of travel, she arrives and thus your journey begins.

In the vast expanse of Sonority’s realm, I found myself mostly alone, save for a clever raccoon named Esther who crossed my path, and a few sentient stones that seemed to hold ancient secrets. To be honest, this solitary atmosphere resonated beautifully with the game’s title, creating an immersive experience that felt both eerie and exhilarating.

Sonority lets You Solve Puzzles by Playing Music

Sonority tasks you with changing your environment by playing the correct notes. You’ll begin with access to one note. However, as you progress through the game, you’ll unlock more. Puzzles mainly consist of platforms that need to be raised, lowered, or otherwise moved to allow Esther to pass.
There are pedestals to which you can assign notes. When you step on the trigger plate for a puzzle, you’ll notice that the pedestals are connected by a glowing line. This tells you in what order the note on each pedestal will play.
The distance a platform or other obstacle moves depends on the distance between the notes you assign. For example, you’ll unlock the traditional music notes A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. To make a platform move up one unit of space, you could assign the notes C, then D, or E, then F.
You will also come across sleeping stones that can unlock doors for you. To wake them, simply play a jaunty tune on your pipes. Once a stone is fully awake, the door it controls will unlock, allowing you to pass.

Sonority: An Adorable Puzzle Adventure

This challenging yet simplistic puzzle game has only one flaw – and that’s the responsiveness of the controls. Sometimes when trying to activate a puzzle by stomping on the trigger plate, nothing happens. However, it usually responds after several blundering tries. However, other than that minor annoyance, the game’s controls are fluid and responsive.

The enchanting mobile game titled “Sonority” strikes the perfect balance between beauty and brainteasers. With its captivating visuals and intricate puzzles to conquer, the game fosters a tranquil atmosphere. From the worried raccoon to the rock-faced boulders, every character enhances the game’s charm. If you appreciate a stimulating challenge and are fond of rhythmic games, Sonority is absolutely worth trying!
