Magic: Puzzle Quest comes overflowing with time gates and random spikes in difficulty, of which, both are compounded by gameplay designed around RNG. No doubt, these are shill attempts to extort the player for money. Even on a technical level the game is trash, pop-in art and long load times pave the entire experience. In sum, 'shallow' and 'pathictic' best describes Magic: Puzzle Quest - a true modern day grift.
