Its honestly a great incremental game. I've nearly finished it to 100% and I must say that I've had a lot of fun these past 6 months playing this game off and on. I'd recommend to try it because it isn't as much of a time sink as most other incremental games and you get a good sense of accomplishment whenever you accomplish something. So yeah, try it out :)

A very fun incremental game, and an improvement in every way of the first Magic Research. There are many different things to unlock, and the game does a great job guiding you towards your next goal.
It can be a little grindy, especially when you get into Challenges at the end of the game, but nothing over the top for an incremental game.

This was my first idle game and it gave me an unreasonably high bar for other games in the genre.

Honestly this game was REALLY good.
I mean it had an ending, and then it had a special ending, and like I said it was really surprising good.
Do not play the 1st one 1st, the sequel was much more robust and paced.
Seriously though, this is a good game.

118 hours in... I must say Magic Research 2 wildly exceeded my expectations. I was expecting an afternoon of toying with yet another big numbers idle game, but this one is special.

Its a good Incremental game but its way to linear. Most people would have to search all upgrade in a area before having chance to be able to beat the boss. Would have like this more open world in your choices.

The game just keeps on piling on mechanics with no good way to manage them across a dozen screens. Very early in the game you'll be juggling so much crap and every time you prestige you have to painstakingly do it all again. Theoretically you can save builds or whatever, but even if you save spells to cast the game will make you go into a different screen and click to activate each one as you learn them anew every prestige. And every prestige involves rebuilding your inventory over and over, which gets so much worse about halfway(?) into the game when suddenly all your items can be powered up by just making incredible numbers of them. The tedium is just exponential.
I really, really like a lot of concepts in this game, but it is just brutal about wasting your time.

Not simply a boring idle/incremental game. LOTS of things to do without overwhelming you from the beginning.
The first game was great, and this one is even better.
10/10 would recommend, even to people not usually fans of the genre.

This game made my entire week disappear!
I rarely get excited about any game. Ever.
In my ~40 years of gaming I've seen it (almost) all.
This is definitely the best "idle" game I've ever played. And I played quite a few.
TBH, it is not even "idle" game, as you keep tweaking and changing and trying new things and strategies how to beat the bosses and even regular mobs.
There is so much content in this game, from the start till the finish (and even beyond).
@developers If there is ever MR3, I'm 100% BUYING it!
10/10 from me
PS: I hate consumables in games. I love the concept of Non-consumables the developers came up with in MR2!
