TPG writes, "Have you ever gotten the urge to uppercut a game cartridge into the sun? If you don't want to burn with the rage of a thousand supernovae, then I would suggest you stay lightyears away from Puzzle Quest: Galactrix.
It's tough to know where to begin when a game jams it's middle finger directly into your brain and then throws napalm into the hole. It sort of scrambles your thought process. I say this because Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is not simply a terrible game; it's a forgery, an impostor. It is one thing to have a negative experience with a game. It's another to feel lied to and stolen from."
Hardcore Gamer: The Puzzle Quest games have been big hits in the digital era and have breathed new life into puzzle games by applying some RPG gameplay mechanics to the genre. Now, instead of spending $10 for the Galactrix and Challenge of the Warlords entries, you can get them both for only $1 each.
In this second of four parts, we discuss how games based purely on luck are little more than immoral cash cows for the people who produce them - and represent some of the worst design choices out there.
In this episode the guys talk about Quantum Conundrum, DayZ, Rainbow Moon, Heroes of Ruin, SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance, Sushi Castle, About To Blow Up Part 1, Wushi, Grand Slam Tennis 2, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD, Puzzle Quest: Galactrix, some news and plenty more.
Wow, this one sounds horrible
Were there any good qualities about this game?
Please tell me it's a joke, i preorder the game for my ol' mother that loved the first Puzzle Quest on DS :(
Don't worry, this game hates YOU more than you could possibly hate IT.
They are not everyones favorite, but the puzzle quest games have a strange appeal to the right person. I loved the original psp one, and have played the PSN game quite a bit too. I'm not alone, sites like IGN reviewed and loved the original puzzle quest game.
Theres no excuse for the reported technical issues though - thats just shoddy...
