  In spite of the steep learning curve, players who enjoy tinkering and exploring will pick up on the objects and controls with a bit of practice and patience. In the end, Principia is a creatively challenging game that provides a great deal of satisfaction for a job well done!

  The game is definitely unpleasant to the beginners. The tutorial is really vague and doesn’t show the tenth of the game’s mechanics, and while each element has its own information box with all its properties, it takes a while to get acquainted with all the options and controls. It more than makes up for it with the amount of tools, though. So, if you have a fever, and the only prescription is complex self-constructed mechanisms, then Principia is the game for you.

  The fun is in the chaotic, amateurish ingenuity of it all. It's about building your own rules and smashing those laid down by others - whether that's the developer or a fellow enthusiast. Principia is a rough and ready build-your-own-fun game that doesn't shirk its responsibility to keep you actively engaged, regardless of your talent or commitment levels .
