"The tale of Dax C. Ward as he conquers the challenges laid before him in the Magrunner facility and he finds himself fighting for his life from Cthulhu Mythos brand monsters is great. It is just the execution that makes the game stumble along as the gameplay and the story both try to develop and unfortunately step on each others toes. Despite these Magrunner has still transitioned very well to consoles and being offered for half the price makes it an even better bang for the buck. Those that missed out on the PC release or who have been waiting for it to reach consoles should find it an interesting and unique challenge for their mind."
"As part of their Summer Sale, Good Old Games is giving away free copies of the first-person puzzle game Magrunner: Dark Pulse. You better hurry though because the offer is only available for 24 hours. "
The Cthulhu Mythos is easily one of the most recognizable pieces of writing in gaming and Magrunner: Dark Pulse is a fresh new take on an iconic story. If you love puzzles and a taste of the terrifying check out Magrunner: Dark Pulse.
Bad is a relative term, and atmospheric first-person puzzle games are like pizza; even when they’re bad, they’re still good. On its own, Magrunner: Dark Pulse is full of brain-bending puzzles and interesting story elements. Pit it against charmers like Quantum Conundrum and the genre-standard Portal, however, and you’ll start to notice its overwrought storyline and gaps in logic.
