Magnetic: Cage Closed Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Magnetic: Cage Closed isn't an amazing game but it isn't terrible either. It's a decent puzzler which fans of the genre should enjoy and is a good puzzler for the Xbox One. If you love these types of games, I would say go for it, but for those who aren't, it's nothing really that you need to check out.
Enjoyable and challenging for the first playthrough; yet suffers terribly when trying to explore the branching storyline.
Magnetic: Cage Closed is a competent but completely uninspired physics puzzle game that owes much to its predecessors but never really builds on the concept with ideas of its own. Figuring out how to get the right box on the right buttons to navigate through its magnet-based test chambers can certainly be tough at times, and its pair of voice-only characters give it some personality, but its lack of original ideas or a concept that makes you think outside the box makes it a quickly forgettable challenge.
Very unusual for a video game, Magnetic: Cage Closed lacks a music soundtrack. Surprisingly, it actually pulls the game together, leaving you to focus on the puzzle itself without distracting you from the task at hand. The sounds of the environment around you make the situation very immersive. The only downside of the soundtrack is the main menu, which is very noisy and disruptive. It doesn’t fit with the storyline or atmosphere to the game.
A puzzle-filled platformer that doesn't quite deliver on its intriguing opening segment, Magnetic: Cage Closed boasts a unique premise but is often brutal in the wrong ways. Definitely not a game for everybody, hardcore fans of platforming games will enjoy it but the casual player will likely get too frustrated to finish the harder test chambers. The story is far from engrossing but clever enough to have some great moments. All in all, the game is a novel way to pass an afternoon but is unlikely to have you clamouring for more.
Magnetic: Cage Closed is a generic puzzler with an uninspired premise, which is only compounded by a second-rate story and laughable voice acting.
You gotta let me out!
