This leads directly into what make Puzzle Quest: Galactrix an overall failure: It just isn't much fun. While the concepts lay the groundwork for another fun and innovative title, the execution is totally botched, leaving you with a game that makes you tense and angry nearly every time you play it. While there is a ton of content, it will take the patience of a saint to access it all, and nothing about the game makes it compelling enough to make you want to keep playing after your first run of really terrible luck. Furthermore, the PS3 version lacks any notable new features beyond improved loading times, so those who have already played the game on another console or handheld have absolutely no reason to pick up the tardy edition. This game is only for the hardcore Puzzle Quest fans who haven't had their fix yet; everyone else would be better served elsewhere.

Its handful of setbacks slightly outweigh its improvements, but Galactrix still offers an addictive, puzzle-meets-RPG experience that won't disappoint most fans of the original PQ, as well as anyone looking for an accessible game that still packs plenty of substance.
