Gamers' Temple

The puzzle is the main draw for Galactrix with the RPG elements mostly along for the ride. But I will say that there were enough RPG elements to give it a fresh take and the puzzle element was more than worth the price of admission.

Game Chronicles

As you can tell, I really had a great time with Galactrix – it is well worth the price of admission, and a recommendation for any puzzle game fan.

If you were hooked by the first game, you'll blow dozens of hours on this one before interest starts to wane.

IGN

The developers really hit on something with the Puzzle Quest formula, and I'll be on board as long as they can keep it engrossing.

GameZone

There is so much content in the game. It is well worth the money. There are few things Galactrix could improve on, but don’t be fooled, it is a very solid game.

Games Radar (in-house)

Its handful of setbacks slightly outweigh its improvements, but Galactrix still offers an addictive, puzzle-meets-RPG experience that won’t disappoint most fans of the original PQ, as well as anyone looking for an accessible game that still packs plenty of substance.

Galactrix is a big game, more than your average downloadable offering and an engrossing blend of RPG and match three puzzling. The zero gravity board adds challenge and strategy, and the gameplay formula is so addictive and the quests so numerous that it is a difficult game to put down.

PSM3 Magazine UK

The cast of characters are forgettable, and the story is hokey, but you'll be happy to play the puzzle game and grind your character through the levels indefinitely. [Aug 2009, p.77]

Play UK

One for fans only. [Issue#181, p.89]

Worth Playing

It just isn't much fun. While the concepts lay the groundwork for another fun and innovative title, the execution is totally botched, leaving you with a game that makes you tense and angry nearly every time you play it.

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix is a vastly inferior sequel to the amazing Challenge of the Warlords, and manages to alter several feature for the worse. The most disappointing things are that the tempo is much lower, the gameplay seems more haphazard and the hexagonal shapes detract from the strategic gameplay. Fun for newcomers perhaps, but the original is much more recommended.

Gaming Nexus

Shady A.I., gameplay that gets stale fast, and a story that is impossible to decipher when you're losing to the enemy forces in the first turn means you should avoid Puzzle Quest Galactrix.

I'd have happily raved about this clever Bejeweled-style puzzler were it not for its utterly outrageous price. [Sept 2009, p.107]
