Get ready to power up your puzzle-solving skills as ReactorX is back, with launch of ReactorX 3 on Xbox.
Ternox and Lovixsama are launching ReactorX 3, the latest installment in the ReactorX series, on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
This relaxing puzzle game invites players to restore the energy systems of a damaged spaceship by strategically moving reactors and activating the power grid.
A Familiar Puzzle Formula
As fans of the series will recall, ReactorX and ReactorX 2 offered a laid-back puzzle experience with a focus on simplicity and accessibility. However, as we noted in our review of ReactorX 2, the game lacked challenge and depth, leaving us wondering if there was an audience for such a “stupendously and wilfully challenge-less” experience.
A New Spark of Challenge?
ReactorX 3 aims to address those concerns by introducing new levels, obstacles, and mechanics that add complexity to the puzzle-solving.
While retaining the series’ accessible gameplay, this latest entry promises to offer a more engaging and rewarding experience for puzzle enthusiasts.
Features That Will Power Up Your Brain
- Reactor Manipulation: Strategically move reactors to connect them to the power grid and restore energy to the spaceship.
- Directional and Colour-Based Puzzles: Solve a variety of puzzles that require you to consider the direction and color of energy flow.
- New Levels and Obstacles: Encounter new challenges and obstacles that add depth and complexity to the gameplay.
- Relaxing Atmosphere: Enjoy a calming and stress-free puzzle-solving experience with no time limits or pressure.
- Accessible Gameplay: The game’s intuitive mechanics make it easy for players of all ages and skill levels to pick up and play.
A Puzzle Game with Potential
ReactorX 3 has the potential to revitalise the series and offer a more engaging experience for puzzle fans. With its new challenges, expanded gameplay, and relaxing atmosphere, this game could be a welcome addition to the Xbox puzzle library.
However, it remains to be seen whether it can overcome the shortcomings of its predecessors and deliver a truly decent puzzle experience. We’ll find out in a full review soon.
For now, ReactorX 3 is available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S through the Xbox Store. It costs £4.19.
Let us know if you’ll be firing up your brain, and attempting to restore power to this spaceship, again.
