Jewel Match Origins - Palais Imperial Collector's Edition

Fun, little different than the other one, but it all fun, relaxing

It's ok. They've refined the formula over newer versions using the same template which are a bit better. There's a couple of annoying achievements in there that are harder to get than expected. The gameplay, levels, art etc are all fine. However I was happy to switch off the music and just listen to a podcast while chipping away at levels from time to time. You don't have to think too hard to pass most levels but I only could stomach a 30-60min game session at most as it all becomes pretty repedative as you go on. Given it's age it's a safe 6/10 kind of match 3 game by all accounts.

I played for hours, beating the game and advancing through the bonus levels when one day, it erased my profile and all of my progress. A fun, casual game but that is unforgiveable.

The older jewel match games are just as fun.

Top match 3 game at this moment, even better than Bejeweled 3 and similar others! Advantages: the game saves the table where you left off, you can continue the levels even after they say Completed, lots of power us give a sense of progression, the difficulty increases gradually (in principle, when obstacles appear, also power ups are received to remove them) and it adds to the fun. Superb graphics and crystalline sounds! No annoying hints and move suggestions, no time pressing, nice flow of gameplay, self pacing. Conclusion: pleasant and even addictive! Once in a while I got an issue with going full-screen or even showing the game, but it was solved the next day.

Good news, bad news. The good news is there's a LOT of content compared to other match 3 games. I mean a boatload. It's pretty, and interesting and a great waste of time (which is the best part of match 3 games). The bad news is that there are bugs. I haven't experienced anything deal=breaking, but I'm an easy going guy. Definitely worth the money.
