The Magic Circle Review – 30 Second Game Review
Congratulations! You’re a beta-tester that gets to play a game stuck in a development limbo. Nothing really works the way it’s supposed to, and that’s what makes this awesome.
Not only is this a great premise, it’s well done. You get to reprogram elements in the game, like turning foes into friends and giving them weird but effective stats.
It has a great plot but… it’s short. And once you reach the final act, there’s no way to go back to the sandbox area. But kudos for making playing an unfinished game cool.
Coding is a highly important skill in our society. Video games are an incredibly popular form of entertainment that can help you learn that skill.
Part 9 in the Indie Games and Craft Beer Pairing. Janet and Melissa each pick an indie game to play, pair it with a craft beer, and review them both. This week features Prairie Path paired with Euro Truck Simulator, and Arrogant Bastard Ale paired with The Magic Circle.
The Magic Circle is a delightful puzzler brimming with creativity, that proves that there’s still plenty of fresh new ideas left in video games
