All this publication's reviews Read full review. This is the Puzzle Quest you fell in love with, and the new dungeon exploration and usable items only sweeten the deal. If only all of life's problems could be solved by matching colored objects together. Despite the minor qualms I might have, Puzzle Quest 2 is still a very good game. Puzzle Quest 2 it's the true sequel of a title that revolutionized the puzzle games genre.
It retains all the fun, addictive gameplay and originality of it's predecessor. It's not perfect, the gameplay was dumbed down a bit and it can be a bit boring near the end, but we still reccomend it to anyone who loved the first, loves old style RPGS or simply loves puzzle games. Addictive RPG puzzler excels in game mechanics and brings fresh ideas and news to the "3-in-the-row" battle system.
Quests, story and RPG elements are the main weaknesses in this sequel. All this publication's reviews. This sequel goes light on the role-playing, but still presents a compelling puzzle experience that's as enjoyable and addictive as the original. User Reviews. Write a Review. Positive: 3 out of 8.

Whenever I see my dear Esther, or anyone for that matter, in the claws of a match three game which this certainly is, supposedly derived from "Shariki" thought up in the ancient times of "Tetris" I cry a little inside thinking of the mind numbing torments the unfortunate is undergoing.
These torments are the illusion of logical strategy while in fact being subjected to constant dice rolls represented by the randomness of the type of stones filling the ones that were removed from the playing board. The inventive folks at Namco however have delivered this rare marriage of mild rpg and match three allowing me to spend quite a few fun evenings, wine, music, indulging in enjoyable recollection of past events with dearest Rachel whom never fancies being excited with my pastimes, opting instead at playing the usually terrible match 3.
Enemies and chests will drop weapons and armor, as well as materials. These include metals, wood, and more, which are used to upgrade any of your gear. There are dozens of items to earn, and with several upgrades available for each, it allows for plenty of customisation options. Rounding off the changes from the first game is Puzzle Quest 2's visual style, which has been upgraded significantly. The game's world view has now switched to an isometric perspective, following your characters as they move around the town of Verloren and its nearby tower.
Non-player characters and monsters are presented in good detail, but despite the prettier graphics on show, Puzzle Quest 2 is a rather bland game to look at because most of the game takes place indoors in similar-looking rooms and corridors. Faring much better are the puzzle grids themselves, with all of the different varieties popping out, thanks to the use of bright colors and uncluttered interfaces. The game is prettier than its prequel, but it still looks bland. It's appropriate, then, that the best-looking part of Puzzle Quest 2 is also its strongest element--the gem-matching puzzles themselves.
With a simplified approach to its role-playing half, the puzzles are left to carry the game, and they do so with aplomb. Puzzle Quest 2 is a fun experience that'll keep your attention for the 15 or so hours it'll take to complete the game without tackling its many side quests , and despite its RPG-lite approach this time around, it's a game that's easy to recommend. Puzzle Quest 2 combines trademark styling with an enhanced experience using new weapons, spells, and shields. Upvote 2 Leave Blank.
The Good Good variations on the basic gem-matching puzzle type Powerful new weapons and armor abilities Lengthy single-player campaign Addictive puzzle gameplay The Bad RPG elements are dumbed down Bland environments.
