When it comes to story in puzzle games, less is more. Relicta takes a risk by trying to encapsulate an engrossing story within an imaginative puzzle experience. The narrative side of the game unfortunately doesn’t pan out and creates a bipolar experience – with intuitive puzzle design and fresh mechanics on the positive side – and a convoluted and unnecessary story on the negative. Fortunately, the majority of your time playing will be spent within puzzles which is where the game really shines. Relicta’s expert use of magnetism, physics, and momentum coupled with its complex design are what make it easy to recommend for fans of the genre.
