Critic reviews
- The evolving complexity of the puzzles makes Archaica a really engaging and challenging game. This, combined with the bewitching setting and the detailed history of the world, absorbs you into the magical story in a way that not a lot of puzzle games manage to achieve.
- 8.7All in all then, I had a really great time with Archaica: The Path of Light. The puzzle difficulty is pitched just right, it allows us to solve puzzles at our own pace and it has a brilliantly executed hint system that still encourages thinking about a solution rather than just giving us the answer. Some minor control issues aside, I’d highly recommend picking this up, especially if you’re after something to unwind with after a long day.
- 9.0If you’re looking for a puzzle game to entertain you for a few hours then look no further: Archaica: The Path of Light is what you need. In the end, it won’t matter that its story is a little hard to follow because you’ll be too engrossed in its puzzles to care.
- 8.0Archaica: The Path of Light on Xbox One is by no means an original puzzle game – light bending is up there in terms of repeat usage with the pipe construction mechanic for minigames – but what it brings is a challenging example of light manipulation that differentiates from others. The hint system helps massively and means that Archaica doesn’t gatekeep for players that would perhaps struggle.
