It is great!.... Until it is not...

The Good
At first, I really enjoyed this game. The first few puzzles aren't too hard, new blocks are introduced gradually and made the puzzles even more interesting. Loved the fact that the game allows for horribly inefficient solutions (no limits on the number of pieces you can use), and I even enjoyed making my solutions more efficient. And to top it off, there is a bit of a story going on, which isn't too convoluted, but it is well told and made me curious about where this whole thing was going.

So I finished the "Overlord Campaign", and I was ready to finish the game and give it a great score...

The Bad
But I am not sure I can consider the game done like that, because there is a whole second campaign... and somehow things went downhill there. Problem is, the puzzles start to get too complicated; not just harder, but a lot more... finnicky. I got to a point where I feel I could solve all the puzzles, but they would just require a lot of time and a lot of work, and I just lost the patience for that; I do not want to work, I want to play!

So, unsure if I should consider the game done (for the first campaing was finished) or abandoned... But I guess I will turn my attention to other games in my backlog.

The Bottom Line
Score... 81/100 for the first half (it was really interesting!); 62/100 if you have to finish both campaigns.
