This is a rails mech puzzle unfortunately. Mine split in two on its first turn and I haven't put it back together yet. It remains unstickered. It is also insanely huge, far too big and awkward to scramble and solve comfortably even if it worked well, which it doesn't.
There are lots of other puzzles out there I would recommend before this unless you absolutely have to have every puzzle.
I heard some people telling that this puzzle turns very bad, but mine seems to be the exception. Maybe by lubricating it you can fix that problem. I haven't solve it yet but it seems to be more complex than I originally expected (this is not like a master pentultimate). And also is massive, so consider this before buying
The puzzle is enourmous, but feels comfortable in your hands. Turning is great if you are capable of aligning the rails correctly. Stickers are good quality ones, so I think you wont have any problem with them. Algorithms feel a bit weird, because the cut is really deep and the mechanism is jumbling-only, so making cycles can be hard. This puzzle is a real challenge, and I'd like to see more information about people trying to solve it, so we can all learn new algorithms for it.
Hi ByXEnd3r, what a fantastic and insightful review!
You’ve perfectly described the soul of the Hexastar Prism Cube. Being a jumbling-only puzzle with such a deep-cut mechanism, it creates a unique challenge where traditional algorithms don't always apply. We're glad you found the hand-feel comfortable despite its 'big boy' size—achieving that balance between scale and structural integrity was key.
Your call for more community-shared algorithms is spot on. We'd love to see more master solvers like you documenting the journey to taming this beast. Happy jumbling!
