Despite its complex tutorial, Puzzle Chronicles is one of the best PSP games out there. Character customization, usable items, companions and sidequests en masse will make you play forever.

This game is in the first two hours extremely difficult, but after that you will understand the gameplay and then this game will become pretty cool. The game has a very good atmosphere, nice voice-acting and nice graphics. The game is hard, but it’s a good one!

Games Master UK

Good old-fashioned gameplay with an RPG twist, but not as good as Infinite's Puzzle Quest. [Apr 2010, p.85]

Game Informer

Character progression is interesting at first, but the game quickly becomes trivially easy. [Issue#203, p.95]

Puzzle Chronicles is undoubtedly a well crafted puzzle/RPG, capable of engaging both fans of the genre as well as any newcomers to the series, but despite it's undeniable qualities, the low difficulty level might fail to offer a real lasting challenge.

At the end of the day, Puzzle Chronicles did try to be different, however it failed to successfully make this an exciting puzzle game.

The game suffers by comparison to stronger titles that are similar enough to make such a comparison unavoidable.

Level7.nu

Puzzle Chronicles is a decent game wrapped in a tacky and uninspiring packaging. The puzzle based combat and the accompanying system for upgrading your character works well. Unfortunately the overall design and voice acting is horrendous and there are simply too many minor flaws present here for the game's qualitative sides to really shine through. Stay clear until you can find this title in the bargain bin.

Modojo

No, Puzzle Chronicles isn't a must-have in the same league as Puzzle Quest, but if you want a different kind of puzzle experience and don't mind putting up with a story similar to Red Sonja, feel free to splurge.

This rote puzzle role-playing game delivers a few exciting moments but falls far short of measuring up to the game that clearly inspired it.

Gameplayer Sweden

Puzzle Chronicles is a mix of puzzle and role playing game where the puzzle-battles are way better and more interesting than the rather mediocre and slow RPG-style sections.
