  For those who love action-arena games like Gift of Parthax, this game will likely delight, as the pixelated characters are nostalgic as hell and the combat, when leveled properly, can be that right mix of challenging but fun. Unfortunately, for those more casual about the genre, Gift of Parthax doesn’t offer enough to offset painfully unbalanced seasons, the grinding that results, and a leveling system that’s as mystical as its characters.

  Ultimately, Gift of Parthax is an enjoyable title, just not a spellbinding one. I found myself quite happily battling through fight after fight and rearranging my spelltome. However, once I had put it down, I didn’t feel a strong draw to pick it up again as I do with other titles. In some ways, it’s not entirely fair of me to make this criticism.

  There are also plenty of achievements, some for very trivial things, like using a certain amount of health potions or dying a certain amount of times. I know it’s a small point- one would think I’ve grown out of the need to get a gold star for every small triumph – but again, it shows that the creators wanted to have fun with their audience. Gift of Parthax feels like a game that anyone can enjoy. It’s charming, it’s cute and, above all else, it’s just a lot of fun.

  Instead, what we end up with Gift of Parthax on Xbox One is a solid game that exists in this weird ground; never really fun enough to play and focus on specifically, but not frustrating or bad enough to cause irritation. Gift of Parthax instead finds itself as a perfect ancillary game, one where you play it to kill time and keep busy while focusing on something else.
