✦ AI summary

Puzzle Quest 3 features a solid match-3 puzzle gameplay with an engaging story that keeps players entertained, but the game is heavily bogged down by aggressive monetization systems and excessive grinding that punishes progression at higher levels. Players criticize the pay-to-play mechanics that kick in around level 50 and the numerous systems designed to encourage spending, though some find it passable as a casual time-killer if approached with low expectations.

In the past, I played this game and when I changed mobile devices years later, I had to do an account recovery. While I waited 2 weeks for them to respond, I started a new account and I actually got further, so I continued playing on that for a whole year and I moved on. Years later, I'm trying to do an account recovery on that second account, but it no longer exists like it got purged and I have no idea what the account was, but it's not linked to my gmail like all games are, so like what's the point? Anyway, this game is a mid-level puzzle RPG with incredible limits and STEEP PAY TO WIN WALLS YOU'LL NEVER SURPASS. plus all of the guilds are inactive and barely 100 people in the whole world play this game so don't expect to find an active guild. SKIP SKIP SKIP. The dev thought it would be a good idea to GACHA the mythic tier for upgrading gear and unless you drop HUNDREDS OF ACTUAL USD on the shop regularly or daily, you only get about 2 chances per month to get the MYTHIC resource that you need to upgrade a single piece of gear aka, it'll take you 5000 years to max one character out.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
