  1. It runs perfectly in a window while you're doing something else on your PC; attend to it in free moments to rack up loot, levels, new spells and satisfaction. [Nov 2010, p.86]

    This is the Puzzle Quest you fell in love with, and the new dungeon exploration and usable items only sweeten the deal. If only all of life's problems could be solved by matching colored objects together.

    Despite the minor qualms I might have, Puzzle Quest 2 is still a very good game.
  4. Addictive RPG puzzler excels in game mechanics and brings fresh ideas and news to the "3-in-the-row" battle system. Quests, story and RPG elements are the main weaknesses in this sequel. [Issue#195]

  1. Puzzle Quest 2 is a fantastic casual game: something to have in the background while you sit at your computer and do whatever you are supposed to do. It is unavoidable to not compare it to Puzzle Quest 1, and through that this new game comes out as a slight disappointment. It lacks some of the deeper minigames the first game had, although the new kinds of minigames such as looting, is a nice touch. However, learning new spells is for example useless, as they are always weaker than the ones you learn from your character's spell book. This game is still a good follow up, but it could have been so much more, if it kept the minigames from Puzzle Quest 1 in addition to those which are already there. Expand
  2. It's Puzzle Quest - Diablo style with more match-3 goodness, but hardcore gamers still run the risk of becoming bored quickly with this series, especially if you don't like matching gems hours on end... Expand
