Broadly speaking, I've noticed a split in incremental games in the last few years, between "traditional" idle games, like Cookie Clicker, and the more modern "run-based" approach, where you do a thing, and then buy upgrades to get better at the thing, and then repeat. I think it's reasonable to say that everybody likes watching number go up, so why are traditional idle games falling off while the run-based sub-genre is exploding? My take is: it's a matter of goals. Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation. Something achievable. Something unlockable. Feeling of progress. Something to aim for. Direction. You see this kind of talk all over incremental game discussions. Most often in what someone found lacking; in why a game wasn't for them. These are abundant in run-based games -- every shopping trip is an upgrade or two, every boss is a new gear or weapon or system unlock, and the next goal is right there in front of you, go out and do a run [i]but better[/i]. While in traditional incrementals, often the only time the question is asked of the player is in the form of: Do you want to prestige after building 1,000 cats, or 10,000 cats?

Most of the negative reviews here are already hitting the nail on the head. Great game concept, incredibly enjoyable first couple of hours, but becomes very tedious very fast. I can't speak to the endgame content, because the game becomes too frustrating for me to reach it, but simply UX and QoL improvements could bring this game from a 5/10 to a classic of the genre. In the current state of the game however, I can not recommend a game I can't be arsed to finish.
very nice
Tons of interesting mechanics and interplay. Very in depth. Very satisfying to figure out the puzzles of how to proceed effectively.
top rated game all round
A great game for people who enjoy idle/auto battling, simulations, RPGS, and more. Magic Research 2 handles the automation aspect very well, with there being no need for autoclickers or MACROs to play this game to its fullest potential.
