Physicus: Save the World with Science!

The Good
Great teaching concept. Good examples and real-world tests

The Bad
The end game failed. The windmill generator is supposed to have a voltage of 22000 at 4000 windings. In the copy I bought, the maximum voltage at the windmill was 12800. There was no way to get a total voltage of 40KV across the 3 generators. I wasted a couple of days trying to figure it out before I went to the walkthrough and found out how it was supposed to work.

The Bottom Line
How to hate physics in one medium-hard lesson

The Good
Basically the best thing about this game is an interactive physics database for high school students, with lots of examples, so every kid around 14-18 with an interest in this subject should play it. The building architecture was also kind of weird and interesting.

The Bad
Everything else... It's a Myst clone, no real plot, the riddles aren't really teaching or requiring any physics apart from 4-5. Too small. I finished it in 4-5 hours. The ending riddle was bit boring involving some tiring repetitive simple calculations. The gameplay is a bit slow as is the interaction with the inventory items.

The Bottom Line
It's an education title for high-school students who will learn some basic physics from it while having a relaxed time. Nothing spectacular, or very enjoyable.
