Gemstones

If you enjoy puzzle games but are looking for something with a clever twist and new mechanics, this one is absolutely worth checking out!

"Gemstones" is a mobile/browsertier tile matching game. Match the tiles with different gems on them, what fun, not. While this is different from Candy Crush slightly, it's still square in the middle of what you'd expect from a mobile app, yet this is here on Steam. Frankly this might have even gone down well on mobile phones, phone gamers like that kind of thing. On Steam, not so much, this was a dismal failure. The game features really lacklustre 2D visuals (does the developer not know 3D graphics became mainstream in the mid-1990s?). Gamers don't spend thousands of dollars on gaming rigs and the latest 3D graphics cards to play 2D games. Even mobile phones and game consoles can do 3D graphics now. There's no excuse. This is "free" enough, at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good. Despite having no up-front cost, this failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 3 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception.

It's good, I like it.

Good if you like repetitive style games.

Yeah it's pretty chill
