    You will need to play the game to realize its potential and accept that TiQal is definitely one of Xbox Live Arcade's greatest games to date.

    TiQal builds on rich puzzle traditions to create an exotic game full of ambiance and excitement.

    A puzzle game has to be challenging in order for it to be addictive but TiQal gives players too many chances.

    It doesn’t have the lifespan of other XBOX Live Arcade titles and your 800 Microsoft Points could be spent on a better title.

    Slapdash games have produced a pleasing enough title, one that might have rabid Tetris fans foaming at the mouth in anticipation but in all honesty it’s really nothing new or novel, and nothing you haven’t seen a thousand times before.

    The problem isn't that TiQal is a casual game, but that it's a lazy casual game. A game so mired in existing formula that it has nothing to offer beyond bland distraction.
  7. Official Xbox Magazine

    At the beginning of the tediously unchanging Adventure Mode (the only mode in the game), you have nearly unlimited time when choosing where to drop a block. That removes any sense of urgency…and you really don’t need to employ any strategy to succeed anyway.
