Mar 7, 2014I don't think I can argue that Magus is a "good" game. In fact, there's a strong argument to be made that it's kind of terrible. It's short, it's ugly, it's easy, it's kind of stupid — basically, by any conventional judging of good/bad, it probably comes out on the wrong side of the ledger...Here's the thing, though: I loved it.
-
Mar 5, 2014Give me a quality plot, or an interesting setting, or something to impress me enough to work through its weaker elements. Magus doesn't offer any stand out feature, which makes it difficult to get too excited over.
-
Mar 5, 2014The more one looks back on it, the more it feels like Magus' primary purpose was to acquaint a new development team with the tools at hand while building up a few skills.
-
Mar 7, 2014Unlike Deadly Premonition, Earth Defense Force 2025, or other games that hide genuine depth behind an awkward presentation, Magus has no hidden quality, charm or saving grace. It's entirely witless, and none of its mechanics strive for anything beyond mediocrity. Despite its issues, though, Magus is surprisingly breezy to play.
-
Mar 2, 2014Like Birdemic or The Room, Magus is so terrible that it can only be called a masterpiece.
-
Mar 12, 2014Magus is not an entertaining game. It suffers from repetitive gameplay, bugs, glitches, and abhorrent visuals. Worse still, it’s expensive, with the release currently commanding a laughable $24.99 price point on the PlayStation Store. Put your time and money towards something better than this.
-
Feb 28, 2014In closing, skip this game. It should not have happened, and hopefully the world will not see it happen again.

Jan 4, 2022Amazing game. I loved every second of it. Easy plat. No real plot. No real gameplay.
Somehow I absolutely had a great time. -

Sep 17, 2020If this game was trying to be horrible, it's done a great job. It fails at everything aside from being a complete and total waste of your time.
