This is such a great game. It allows you to choose which match 3 approach to use in playing, which I have never seen in another game. The game pieces are lovely. The graphics are beautifully rendered. It is just the right balance of levels and tasks. I would note that the game pieces are very bouncy, but I think that this is trying to be similar to another famous match 3 saga.
I recommend this game!

I only played the trial version. I found that it didn't flow. The game play seemed continually interrupted. Perhaps it is different with further playing, but I chose Tales of the Orient: The Rising Sun instead.
I don't recommend this game.

Play felt interrupted. I prefer Hello Venice.

I only played the 1-hour demo of 4 Elements, but there didn't seem to be a Relaxation mode. The game even had a fairy pop up to say she noted something was wrong, when I didn't rush straight to the end of each level. A pity. Also, I appreciate that we were collecting items, but there seemed to be too much chopping backwards and forwards between this and the game levels. I never really got into the flow of it.
I don't recommend this game.

OK, there's subterranean water, but this game doesn't seem to be to do with Venice

This is fundamentally a garden-beautifying game. Each level you clear the path for water to run, by forming strings of at least three identical items that earn credits, and then you buy items for the garden until you have bought one of everything. There is a bit of story at the start and end. I enjoyed the game-play, but I never saw Venice itself.
I recommend this game!

I have only played this specific game for a short while, but there appears to be more story than in this game's predecessors. The special board pieces that you collect are harder to distinguish than in Summer in Italy and Autumn in France, and I don't like the orange dotted background when the story is moving on, but so be it.
I recommend this game!

I loved this game. The graphics were great, the game play was smooth and there was just the right balance of special occurrences. This is the best ClearIt that I have played.

This game was extraordinary - someone dressed as an elf basically stands over you and gets you to do things. Actual game play was fine.
I don't recommend this game.

Game play was interesting. I found that it required too much investment to be relaxing, though, and there didn't seem to be much story.
I don't recommend this game.
Complete unique and colorful matching puzzles with multiple levels of complexity.

Loved it, but it glitched so much that it ruined it for me

The game play and graphics were great, but the game glitched so much that I didn't buy it after the 1-hour trial. It is odd, because all of the other games that I have tried have been fine. Because of this, I don't feel that I can recommend it.
I don't recommend this game.
