Magnia features beautiful graphics and a variety of levels, providing a relaxing and nostalgic gameplay experience.
The game offers a unique combination of static 2D and operable 3D objects, making it enjoyable for players of all ages, especially younger ones.
There is a good variety of puzzle types, including tower building and balancing challenges, which can cater to different skill levels.

The game is plagued by numerous game-breaking bugs, including issues with hitboxes and unmovable pieces, which significantly detract from the experience.
Controls can be frustrating, particularly with the need to manage perspective and depth, making it difficult to complete more complex puzzles.
The game lacks a clear challenge for older players, as the timed objectives feel at odds with the nostalgic toy theme.

The humor in the game is highlighted by a quirky design choice where a giant rectangular element unintentionally obscures part of the level selection screen, adding a comedic touch to the otherwise visually appealing background changes.
