Angry Birds Match vs Word Forward
Angry Birds Match
Angry Birds Match adds a different twist to the usual slingshot-based gameplay that the Angry Birds franchise is incredibly renowned for. In this brand-new spin-off, Rovio delivers a whole new match-3 adventure where you'll not only need to organize the Hatchlings' party but also to protect it from the mischievous pigs. Mix and match up tons of cakes and party decor to solve the many and varied puzzle levels available. You can also bring out the big boys a.k.a. the Angry Birds like Red, Chuck, and Bomb with a match-4, and use explosive Boosters to clear the toughest levels. The best part of this game though, aside from the fact that you can play this game completely offline, is definitely the crazy-cute Hatchlings that you can collect. You can even visit them and put on the new outfits you've unlocked!Angry Birds Match may have done a complete 360 on the iconic gameplay that had made the franchise famous, but this isn't exactly their first attempt at doing so - There's an Angry Birds-themed racing game called Angry Birds Go! after all. That being said, this new game does help Rovio experiment with various other game genres just to see which new field they can expand the franchise into... and apparently, the casual match-3 genre is a pretty good bet.
Word Forward
Word Forward is a fairly challenging, word puzzle game whereby the goal is not to make the longest word or even to find the rarest ones – it is to clear the board of all letter tiles by strategically forming words with the letters given. The game also provides plenty of help if you need them, though if you want to get a Gold star for every level, you’ll want to avoid relying too much on the aid given.Although Word Forward doesn’t add much to one of the many existing formats of word games that are already out there, the stuff it does add manages to help the game stand out. With the variety of strategic tools that you can use, Word Forward feels so much more flexible as a puzzle game since there are many ways you can go about clearing all the letters and solving the puzzles. Plus, the price is perfect for the levels and playtime it can offer, and as a nice bonus, you can even choose which platform and device you prefer to play the game on!
