Magnetized is a very unusual game, no doubt about that. Very simple Atari-like graphics and chiptune soundtrack, as well as lack of hints or other in-game help set it aside from most of the modern puzzles and make it, for the lack of a better term, very old-school. I’ve personally had a blast, and although it gets quite challenging at the end, it’s definitely an interesting game.

- 7.0Magnetized aims for minimalism in its graphics but there’s just something kind of crude about it, at least on Retina iPads. Everything seems kind of rough and a bit blurry instead of crisp and elegant like a great minimalist game does. I suppose the visuals here are good enough, but unlike something like Super Hexagon, I want something more from them. Magnetized charmed me with its inventiveness at times, though it did let me down a bit. Still, it’s an overall satisfying and interesting experience.
- 7.0Magnetized has the ability to excite and frustrate you in the same moment. With a slightly more polished design, it really could have been a must have puzzle title. But as it stands, hardcore puzzle fanatics will most likely get the most out of it.
- Magnetized is a game with a lot of charm, and enough new and interesting ideas in it to keep players entertained. It warrants itself for release on mobile with fitting visuals, controls, and more content than found in the flash version.
- 8.0Though they can be completed in an afternoon, we reckon the taxing mazes of Magnetized will attract and satisfy puzzle fans - provided you're not repulsed by the kitch presentation and steep difficulty curve, that is. Much like the polarised items from which it takes its name, Magnetized utilises fascinating mechanics that are easy to grasp, but hard to pull away from.
- 7.0It's not quite in the same league as the best of its kind, but if you're on the lookout for another stylish, original, and challenging casual-puzzle game you'll find Magnetized an attractive prospect.
