Magic Research 2

The flow of the game is amazing and addicting. I almost have nothing bad to say. The major problem for me is that the game has a dreadful micromanaging processs at the beginning of each retirement and at many of the feature unlocks. You need to manually and repetitively press the same buttons over and over again each retirement every time you unlock something to set up automation. If you forget, your run is stunted until you remember. I was originally having a blast replaying the game with the post game features, but eventually the lack of automation hurt my interest as it became too much of a chore. My first time clearing this game was probably the most fun I’ve had playing an incremental though.

Magic Research 2 is one of the most compelling incremental (idle, but more active) games I’ve ever played. It has tons of content, fun writing, lots of features, interesting systems, and compelling challenges. It’s also under constant development - multiple times I’ve thought “it’d me nice if this was more like this”, and then within a week it was already updated. A labor of love that deserves to be purchased and played. I’ve put at least 10 hours of active play time into it and still have lots to go. Thanks Matias for another classic!

Playing the first Magic Research was without a doubt one of my most cherished experiences in mobile gaming, if not gaming entirely. I’ve never been able to find a more balanced and engaging game of this genre. Its mechanical design is completely perfect and I can VERY confidently say that this sequel is an even more complex and rich update to the first. It’s quite absurd to me how there are negative reviews to this BRAND NEW release. My brother, nobody is asking for insight into the developer’s grammar… if you’re concerned with “cOgNitiVe oVeRLoaD” because of “bad English” then it’s simply clear you’re just not the target audience for this game. Go get an Audible subscription if perfect grammar is your literal only concern. This is a solo developer who genuinely had no need to invest the EXTRA time to write a story line at all on top of the insane backend structure of the mechanics. Come on!!!!!
