Video Game Reviews of Brainiversity
Customer Review: Great tool to keep you mind sharp
Summary: 5 Stars
If you'd like to have a fun way to keep your mind sharp or even improve your mental skills, then this is the game for you. If you're just looking for mindless entertainment, look elsewhere.
I've tried a number of the puzzle-type games which have the word brain in the title and some are fun, some are not. I really wanted something that would be both fun and actually track my results so that I could see how I am doing. I downloaded all the free trials and from my testing I found that Brainiversity was the best. Unlike the others I tried it isn't childish or overdone.
When you look at these games you have to think, is this going to get annoying on day 7 let alone day 120? This game does not make you click a bunch of crap to get between the practice games and tests, and doesn't make you wait for any animation either (which some others I tested did). I do recommend turning the voice sound off on the lightbulb character in the options menu. Some might say that it lacks the cool graphics that others have, and they'd be right, but the graphics don't distract from the game this way and it is more likely to work on old computers.
From the score history and graphing, to the random jokes and interesting facts that sometimes show, there are a some well-designed features. The feature that ties it all together is the score and progress tracking. Without that it would be amusing but I wouldn't use it every day. Because of the tracking I want to see how I'm doing each day, and that's what will help you stick with it and see some improvement. And this game is all about improvement rather than just focusing on your score itself.
I recommend at least trying the trial version to see if you like it.
