  1. Despite the re-hashed ideas, there are more than enough unique tweaks to the formula to warrant giving Gyromancer a spin.
  2. A brave effort with interesting puzzles, but boring RPG elements really make you want to see how PopCap alone would have handled the same concept. [Mar 2010, p.84]
  3. It's easy to assume that Gyromancer is a clone of Puzzle Quest...The truth, perhaps, is that it's simply an improvement on the formula. [Jan 2010, p.98]
  4. This is one for gem completionists, but it won't be raising any bars or breaking any moulds. [Feb 2010, p.84]

    It's very pretty and serves up a heaping spoonful of Popcap's trademark crack. having both Square-Enix and Popcap team up was a fantastic idea. Sure, it feels like Bejeweled Twist with a makeover, but it's cheap and very entertaining. Perfect time-killing game. Expand
