Learning Curve: EASY

9.5Of all the games we reviewed this issue, Talismania was the biggest surprise. Essentially a glorified modern take on the classic Pipe Dream, Talismania requires you to switch small tiles to allow light to pass from one side of the level to the other. The game keeps a steady pace of introducing new concepts, and the between level cartoons keep you motivated for one more round. A definite buy.

9.5An excellent match of simple puzzle solving, gameplay and style. At it’s core a simple A-to-B path game, Talismania spices things up with good design and Bonus levels to break up any potential monotony. There is also a small storyline, and while fairly unnecessary it does actually add a little to the game’s charm.
