Planetiles

I can't put my finger on it why but I just don't want to come back to this game. It sat in my library, installed - but unlike some other games which I say to myself that it's just not the day but I look forward to playing them, I just did not enjoy this and need to put it to rest. There's just other similar puzzle/builder games that I enjoy way more and the restrictive progression does not help.

Consider this a neutral review. As the puzzle mechanics go, this game is alright. The puzzles are interesting enough, appropriately difficult, and have plenty of stuff to discover. The random events will sometimes ruin your plans but over multiple playthroughs, I don't really have a problem with them. What I DO have a problem with, though, is forcing a really bad machine translation at me. When you first launch the game, it forces you into an apparently unskippable tutorial before you can even look at the settings. So, my first impression of the game was getting blasted with loud background music and a basically unintelligible machine translation of the instructions into my (difficult to translate) system language. I had to reverse engineer the translation into guessing what the English might have been and trial and erroring my way through the basic instructions. It then threw me directly into a game, which I had to leave to go change the volume and try and change the language... which, as it turns out, you can't do. You have to change your steam settings to get the game to not be illegible gibberish. I wanted to still give the game a chance, so I figured out how to stop it from…

Very eye-pleasing aesthetics, fun puzzles and a good amount of strategic thinking. Definitely worth it, especially if you get it at a decent discount

English Planetiles is a cozy and relaxing game that I played for a short time. It plays a lot like Tetris but instead of just clearing lines you are placing different tiles to build and shape little planets. It is a very chill experience where you do not have to stress too much and can just relax while fitting the pieces together. It was a short but sweet experience for me and it is definitely a decent game. If you want a cozy puzzle game to unwind and clear your head it is definitely not bad at all. Türkçe Planetiles kısa bir süreliğine oynadığım ama oldukça rahatlatıcı bir deneyim sunan tatlı bir oyun. Temel olarak Tetris mantığına benziyor ama burada sadece satır silmek yerine uzayda gezegenler inşa edip şekilleri doğru yerlere yerleştirmeye çalışıyorsunuz. Oynanışı sizi hiç yormuyor ve arkada kafa dağıtmalık cozy bir yapısı var. Benim için kısa süreli bir eğlence oldu ama kesinlikle fena değil denebilecek başarılı bir bulmaca oyunu. Kafa dinlemek ve stres atmak için kesinlikle şans verilebilir.

Very fun, and fairly relaxing too. I do have some things about the game that annoy me immensely mostly around the lack of an "information/help/tips" section. Some parts of the game you're expected to just figure out or remember what exactly the wording was and that's NOT very accessible. But for the most part I do really recommend this game because it's pretty, (usually) relaxing and also has a good amount of re-playability. I feel like it's good value!

What seemed like a relaxing and simple game turned into a very enjoyable experience trying to find the right combos and mastering placement. Game has a surprising amount of depth to it, and you can choose to play in so many ways like focusing on missions, upgrades, avoiding risk at the cost of upgrades and all of them have valid cases to use them based on what playstyle works for you. I did try quite a few different ways myself, but I ended up sticking with the ability to double adjacent squares (and lowering mission points) because I could never keep up with the missions after a certain point. The fact that you can play in so many different ways is great, and the music was perfect and somehow never got old despite hearing it so much over the hours I played. The game DID give me the final achievement for every goal before I had actually completed every goal. but I guess I had all but one on most of them so you only need to get 2/3 extra goals for each area? Not important unless you're going for the achievements, but worth noting at least. Highly recommend this game, it presents itself as a cozy game but becomes much more when you dig deeper into it.
