Relicta Reviews
Mighty Polygon's debut is well-intentioned, however lacks an engaging storyline and takes too long.

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.

As it currently stands, I can only recommend Relicta to the hardcore lovers of physics-based puzzles.
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.

If you loved every minute of Portal, The Witness, Obduction, or other sorts of puzzle adventures then Relicta does have something for you. But it's not as well polished as those titles, and doesn't offer as much creativity in puzzle solving, or variety in the puzzles themselves.
Relicta is a puzzle game that tries to be like The Talos Principle and Portal, but falls flat. The gameplay mechanics, as well as the physics, are a solid and fun experience. However, it falls short due to a weak story, terribly written dialogue, repetitive puzzle design, and various technical issues. If you're looking for a puzzler that you can easily find exploits in for a speedrun, check this out. But, if you're looking for a puzzler with replayability, where you have to utilize creative thinking, and the puzzles are all uniquely designed, then look far, far elsewhere.
...if you are a fan of the puzzle platformer genre, Relicta may be a game worth diving into. However, if you’re like me and are just starting to dip your toes into the world of puzzle games, it may be better to start with something a little less demanding and come back to this one at a later date.
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.
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.
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.
