Planetiles
Critic Reviews for Planetiles
A strategy puzzle masquerading as a world builder, Planetiles is a wonderfully challenging little game that we can't get enough of.
Overall, Planetiles is a super fun tile placement game. I like the look and style of the game. It feels well-polished, and the sound design is great. All the action, placement, and movement feel really good, and the visuals grow on you after a while. I came to really appreciate the trippy space aesthetic much more than I thought I would after about 30 minutes in. It’s fun, challenging, and has a whole lot of replayability. There is a lot to love about Planetiles and very, very few things I didn’t like. I do wish that the tutorial was a little more informative, but it couldn’t ruin my enjoyment of the game overall. If you enjoy tile placement video games or board games, I would recommend Planetiles to you.
Planetiles offers a cosmic twist on classic puzzle formulas, inviting players to embark on a challenging journey of terraforming and colonization. The game gradually reveals its charms, beckoning players to explore its celestial landscapes one block at a time.
The lack of impact ultimately prevents Planetiles from reaching its full potential, but does not prevent it from being enjoyable for a few hours. It just loses its luster sooner than I hoped.
