I thoroughly enjoyed the demo and didn't hesitate to purchase the full game. A few hours into playing and I am constantly getting the notice "No More Moves, Tiles Are Being Mixed" despite having plenty of moves on each grid. So, so annoying and no way to stop the glitch flashing up in front of me every two seconds. Otherwise a great game, not too difficult to progress although I always choose the relaxed mode.
I recommend this game!

Another limited moves Match 3, which puts me off immediately. This game is also very slow to drop the tiles at the end of each game, another annoying feature that developers don't seem able or willing to fix.
Considering how long we have to wait for a Match 3 to be offered, I was disappointed with this one and definitely won't be buying it.

What's with Big Fish and all the HO games? Maybe it should be called Big Fish Hidden Object Games.
Anyway, finally I see today's new game is a Match 3 and couldn't wait to try it, I do love my Match 3s, no hidden games within games, no limited moves nightmares, no knitting a jumper while waiting for tiles to drop, just a simple Match 3 where you swap tiles. The first thing I notice is that this is yet another game with limited moves, no option to play unlimited - a big no-no for me. Then I realize it isn't even a traditional Match 3, only 2 tiles have to be linked together (no swapping) in small chains to play the game. Not to my liking at all.
So ... now I suppose I will have to go back to knitting 5 or 6 new jumpers while I wait for another Match 3 to be offered. Sooooo disappointed.

What a shame, this is a really good Match 3 game, the story seems interesting, you can play in Timed or Relaxed mode, no annoying waiting for tiles to finish dropping, all basic requirements for me. BUT, if you suffer with vision problems as I do, there is no way you can continue playing. The entire screen is just so bright and crowded, I couldn't make out one tile from another. I do wish game developers would remember that a lot of people struggle with their vision and still enjoy playing games. Another one I will sadly have to pass by because my eyes just can't cope with it.
I don't recommend this game.

I am always pleased to see a new M3 game but this one didn't stay on my PC for more than a few minutes. Unfortunately it's another one of those annoying games where you can't make any further moves until all the tiles have finished dropping, meaning an immediate rejection from me.
I don't recommend this game.

Finally, a new Match 3 game that is a real pleasure to play. The storyline stays interesting, there is a relaxed mode and the graphics are very good. Unlike so many Match 3s, in this one you don't have to sit waiting for the tiles to finish dropping before making your next move, always a bonus. I enjoy a nice relaxing game but on the other hand I like to have enough happening to prevent boredom and this one ticks all the boxes. I've only played the demo so far and I always play in relaxed mode, so if you like a bit of a challenge you might want to try a different mode.
The best new game I've found here for some time.

At first I thought this was a really boring game but having played it for a while I wanted to keep going. I like untimed games so that's a bonus for me. The graphics are also quite easy on the eyes for those like me who have vision problems and it's not one of those clunky games where you have to sit and wait ages to make another move. Haven't really figured the power ups yet and I get the feeling it will get harder as I progress but hopefully not so hard that it becomes a chore rather than a pleasure. Other reviewers say there are spiders that start showing up, can't say I'm keen on that but will probably buy it and see what happens. So far there is no stress involved, which puts me off as I like to relax while playing games. Don't think this is going to suit those who like a good challenge but I've played a lot worse.
I recommend this game!

I was really looking forward to a new Match 3 game, and admittedly I've played only the first 10 minutes of the demo, but this seems to be a pretty low quality game. The only good thing I can say so far is that there is a relaxed mode, I won't buy any game that doesn't have that option. But the storyline seems pointless, just keep matching tiles all the time which gets boring after a while. The worst thing for me is having to wait for the tiles to drop before being able to make the next move, an annoying feature that so many Match 3 games have. I'll persevere to the end of the demo and see if there is anything more exciting than restoring gods, but so far I've not seen anything to persuade me to buy this one.
I don't recommend this game.

As a lover of Match 3 games, I was pleased to see this one, I thought it would be something new instead of the usual "Series" games we get. Unfortunately as soon as I started the demo I could see that it was one of those annoying games where you can't make another move until the tiles have finished dropping. That in itself was enough to put me off, plus the icons are really clunky, not the smooth running game I was expecting at all. It does have an option to play in Relaxed mode, which is my reason for giving it 1 star. Apart from that, it was so slow and boring. I couldn't even find a way to exit the game without going into Task Manager. This one is definitely not for me.
I don't recommend this game.

I've played this game several times and still enjoy it, the storyline complete with facts on each country keep it interesting and the graphics are very good, even for someone with poor vision like me. There are 2 things I don't like about this game - the fact that there is no relaxed option and it's also one of those annoying games where you have to keep waiting for the tiles to finish dropping before making another move. I usually avoid games for both of those reasons and it's why I'm not giving it the full 5 stars. Hopefully when they make another one, these things will have been improved. But as long as you can tolerate those 2 problems, it's definitely a good game.
I recommend this game!
