First up is TeamXbox, where the game scored an 8.7/10:
Galactrix is a good game that plays a bit smoother than its predecessor. It's not a great game, and the presentation is definitely secondary to the gameplay, but it'll keep you occupied for hours. I'm sure there'll be complaints over the higher-than-normal price (compared to all other XBLA titles), but if you were into Warlords, you'll also enjoy Galactrix and surely get your money's worth.
Then we have Kombo, with a score of 5.5/10:
With Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords being one of the best puzzle games ever, Galactrix isn't. Even though both games share the same name, the magic is sucked into the vacuum of space with Galactrix. The result is a game that is unique and interesting but leaves much to be desired for lasting appeal. The real shame is that the first Puzzle Quest will always be remembered with reverence while Galactrix will be forgotten like unimportant space dust.
And, finally, Hooked Gamers with a score of 7/10:
Puzzle Quest: Galactrix has dozens of quests to perform and this combined with the various puzzle types (crafting, haggling, Leapgates, searching for rumours, mining) will have the gamer playing for hours. The visuals aren't overly impressive, but that can be forgiven due to the fact that the game is a puzzle game at its core. I have a minor issue with the game constantly saving (which takes longer than most games), but apart from that and the annoying bad luck in gem drops, Puzzle Quest Galactrix is one of those games that makes you want to keep going until you finish it.
