IGN: Trash Panic Review

IGN writes: "Trash Panic will likely end up being a polarizing affair. It’s not without charm, but the steep learning curve and wealth of things to consider at any one time can be too much for a newcomer to handle. In the end, it satisfies the basic philosophy of a puzzle game, but swing the pendulum far more toward the challenging end of the spectrum rather than being something that anyone can grasp as a whole right from the start.

It’s not a question of nuance or refined technique (though there are definitely elements of that), but rather whether the game’s heavy burden of challenge is too much to bear for someone just trying to digest it all. Trash Panic isn’t a bad game, it’s simply a hard game, and one that asks much of those that would see it through to the end of the game’s six stages. Ultimately, it may ask too much".
