Critic Reviews

78 Extreme Gamer
Brain Challenge is a fun adventurous take on the brain game genre. The amount of mini-games keep the stress and brain training fun and exciting even on daily plays
75 IGN
If you're the type of person that loves brain games and has been dying for another decent one to come out so you can prove your cognitive prowess, then Brain Challenge is the third-party answer to your prayers.
70 Games Radar
These minor quibbles never prevent the game from being fun, though.
70 PALGN
Brain Challenge is a polished and entertaining game that solidly achieves its objective of testing your cognitive abilities.
50 GameDaily
There are more than enough brainteasers to keep you unlocking new ones, but it's aesthetically sterile and only fun if you play it for a few mere minutes a day.
50 EuroGamer
It never feels more than throwaway fun. And while it never claimed to be anything to the contrary, its blatant copying of the Brain Training formula and the lack of innovation that results don't do it any favours.
