Anthony L: "I'm a huge fan of the original Puzzle Quest and really wanted to like Galactrix, but sadly the new features introduced actually ruin a lot of what made the original so great. The space setting is a good idea and occasionally you'll engage in some battles that are enjoyable, but the appealing presentation and new setting can't offset what is a big step in the wrong direction for the Puzzle Quest series. Infinitive Interactive would have been better off just changing the setting and leaving it at that; as the old saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
