Relicta Reviews
Relicta is a good title, but one that can be frustrating if you don't pay as much attention as you need. Interesting game concept with attractive mechanics and a fun plot.

Relicta is a very good puzzle game that will keep us glued to the chair squeezing our heads, with a pretty careful visual section, in addition. A certain repetition and lack of rhythm in some sections of the story and a certain "trap" with the scenarios take away points from a game that, in any case, is essential if we are fans of the genre. Homeland product, in addition.

Relicta is a good game with some really clever and thought-provoking puzzles, but it overstays its welcome with its extended length. Not to mention the absence of additions of new features throughout its campaign and an overall uninteresting story filled with uninteresting characters and unskippable cutscenes.
Despite the combination of the scorching heatwave and the confusing puzzles giving me the biggest headache of all time, Relicta is one of the best looking and most complex first-person puzzle games I’ve ever played. Although the game is built around a single concept – magnets and no gravity – each puzzle introduces new mechanics and rules to keep you thinking and experimenting for the solution. The narrative holds the game together nicely, giving you a reason for why you’re actually trying to solve the puzzles, yet there’s a lot of backstory and exposition to be found in the optional PDA collectables which are scattered around as well. This isn’t a puzzle game for those who get confused easily, but it’s a massive challenge for those who are looking for something unique and special to sink hours into.
Mighty Polygon's debut is well-intentioned, however lacks an engaging storyline and takes too long.

Relicta is a great action puzzler, though, with some great head-scratchers and an intriguing story to keep you working your way through. It’s not best in class in the genre, with many other great games releasing over the course of this generation, but Relicta was plenty enjoyable all the same and a must for those who’ve worked their way through the cream of the crop.
A game that follows the steps of Portal of The Witness, but doesn't quite work in the end. Clumsy narrative, and artificially complex challenges makes for a somewhat interesting game, just for the fans of the genre.

With a plodding plot you have to trudge through, puzzles that are fun yet flawed, and characters whose motivations seem few and far between beyond finding ways to slip in a swear word, the game seems to be trying too hard to be deeper than what it needed to be. Though the puzzle aspect is incredibly challenging, beyond that, there really wasn’t much to enjoy about this game.
Physics-based puzzle games used to be all the rage when the Portal series became so popular nearly a decade ago. Plenty of developers and publishers were attempting to cash in on similar success. As the years have passed, they’ve become a rarer find. Now, in the second half of 2020, Mighty Polygon has released their go at the genre with Relicta.
A beautiful yet limited world. The puzles are engaging, but are quickly forgotten with the over simplified and cumbersome story and text walls. It has a decent duration enough to keep your attention to the end.
