Review:

ReactorX is a family-friendly character-based Puzzle game first released on Xbox One in 2020 and ported to Nintendo Switch in 2021. This game has players taking the role of an engineer on a spaceship pushing around reactor core blocks to power like-colored pathways.

The presentation here is simple, but sufficient. It uses pixel art visuals and a subdued soundtrack, neither especially noteworthy, but both getting the job done.

As for the gameplay, this is a fairly straightforward character-based block-pushing Puzzle game. Just one look at a screenshot and you should have a pretty good idea how this game will play – push and pull blocks, use lasers to charge them, move them to appropriate tiles to solve the puzzle. There’s nothing especially bad here, but nothing truly inventive either.

For $5, ReactorX is a perfectly decent but unspectacular puzzle game. If you’re looking for something inexpensive that you can immediately pick up and play, this will scratch that itch, but don’t expect it to do much more than that.

tl;dr – ReactorX is a family-friendly character-based Puzzle game where players fix a spaceship’s engines by pushing reactor core blocks into the right positions on color-coded pathways. There’s nothing inventive or original here, but for an inexpensive Puzzle game, this is a decent distraction.

Grade: C
