Bejeweled Blitz vs Victoria
Bejeweled Blitz
Bejeweled Blitz is one of the very first popular match-3 game before all the hoohah with Candy Crush Saga began. Back then, Bejeweled Blitz dominated Facebook's games market and almost everyone was playing it. After all, why not? The game is intense and challenging since you are only given a limited amount of time to match as many 3s as you can and as rapidly as possible just so you can rack up some sweet combos. The game also utilizes Facebook's social feature by pitting your highest score with your fellow Facebook friends, further motivating you to up your game in hopes of overtaking the others in front of you on the leaderboard.In some way, Bejeweled Blitz set the motion for other match-3 games... and eventually Candy Crush Saga... to set up shop on Facebook, providing hours after hours of fun for its competitive players to find creative ways to up their game. Of course, being based on the popular Bejeweled franchise helps a lot as well. So, if you're looking for a time-limited and fast-paced match-3 gameplay, Bejeweled Blitz is a game you should play. The game is no longer on Facebook, but you can still enjoy the game on your mobile devices.
Victoria
Victoria is a horror-themed match-3 adventure game that begins with a tragic story. The protagonist in this game, Victoria Miller, lost her husband and two children in an incident involving an aggressive poltergeist. Driven by her bitter need for revenge, she decided to pick up the ancient art of hunting supernatural beings and track the poltergeist across the United States in hopes of slaying it.At its core, Victoria is a pretty standard match-3 puzzle game where you’ll need to make matches of 3 or more in order to remove the items from the playing area. Most levels require you to clear away blue tiles by matching over them but sometimes, you may be asked to make specific matches in order to use the many weapons that will eventually be available to you against the supernatural creature you’ll be fighting. However, what allows this game to stand out from the usual match-3 games out there is the creepy atmosphere it provides and the occasional jump scares that's intended to give you a solid jolt from time to time.
Overall, when it comes to immersion, Victoria hits the nail on the head. However, despite the supernatural-fighting bits, the gameplay in this game can be rather simplistic, and after some time, rather mundane. That said, considering that true horror-themed match-3 games can be pretty rare, Victoria might just fit snugly into the gaming niche it is obviously designed for.
