13 Positive User Reviews for Magic Research 2
Where a 50 hour game experience feels long, this 120+ hour game flies by
This game scratches that deep seated itch to find ridiculous patterns to optimizing the workflows without being too cumbersome like Minecraft or factorial feel when playing on the go. I’m not sure how I spent 121 hours on a game like this but here we are. Definitely worth the purchase at double the price, let alone what the developer is charging here.
Wonderful semi-idle game
One of the best idle games out there. The first was an incredible experience and while I preferred that to this sequel. Magic Research 2 is still one of the greatest idle games on the App Store currently. I’ve tried a lot of them. My biggest gripe is there’s a lot more resources to juggle this time around but thankfully the info does get displayed well as long as you find which menu it’s under!
Good game, bad performance
Love the game but wow it lags and gets choppy in the late game. Tried playing with all the settings, nothing helps.
Detailed and engaging
I like Magic Research so much I bought them both on mobile and on steam. I just wish there was a macOS version.
UI
I remember loving the first game. Sunk a stupid amount of hours into it. It don’t remember the UI being as painful. Something about this version just doesn’t flow right. Transmuting at the start of each run is a main action but the transmute screen is cumbersome and the inventory becomes a jumbled mess. Each screen requires scrolling but jusssssst a little bit. Like a slightly smaller UI and it would fit on one page.
Great, but bugged.
This is a really fun game. Definitely worth the price when it is working. However, the app my started rapidly pushing buttons on its own and overheating my phone. I even went so far as to remove my $50 screen protector thinking that was the culprit. This game has turned out to be much more costly than I thought.
Absolutely fantastic
This game hooked me very quickly and in a way I didn’t think it was possible
Absolutely Worth
The game adds some changes to the previous game, with more complexities and yet I feel like it still delivers.
There are some UI issues that are usual with games like this. When the inventory is important, like it is in this game, it leads to complaints that it’s not as easy to navigate, but most sorting will not sort in the *exact* way that you want.
That aside, the other difficulty is feeling the need to farm areas, especially in late game. I think that would be relieved with familiar sear
Worth your time
I enjoyed the first game and wanted to give the sequel a go. Did not disappoint. Cant wait to see what the developer does next.
A true semi-idle masterpiece
10/10 amazing game. Any news on DLC or sequel?
Incremental Masterclass
This game is now my gold standard for incremental games. If you’re reading this, buy it. It’s incredibly good.
why do
why do time pieces cap out at 100k? i dont feel like that makes sense for a paid game. Just took like 5 days off to accrue time pieces, come back in, realized they were capped. rest of the game is mind blowingly good if you’re into idles. ADD med paradise. not sure how one person even thinks of all that stuff. maybe serious outlines?
Incredible game
Amazing sense of progression and fun build types, one of the best in the genre on the App Store
