Bejeweled Stars vs Candy Crush Friends Saga
Bejeweled Stars
Bejeweled Stars offers a fun new twist to the usual basic match-3 gameplay of older Bejeweled games. It adds in exciting power-ups, special gems, cute collectibles, and more, giving its gameplay that extra flair, and its players something to strive towards. The gameplay is quite varied and engaging since there are several new game mechanics introduced, such as the constellation-based rewards system and a Power Lab which allows you to craft your own power-ups using Skygems you collect from playing matches. The game also has a pretty hilarious tune which is played at the end of every level in addition to the brilliant visuals.Bejeweled Stars may be a match-3 puzzle game on a mobile platform that’s practically saturated with games of the similar genre, but this game definitely made a massive effort in standing out… and I like to think that it managed to do so. That being said, if you enjoy a fun and unique puzzle-based match-3 game, you’ll definitely want to play this game!
Candy Crush Friends Saga
Candy Crush Friends Saga is brand-new match-3 puzzle adventure from the Candy Crush franchise, developed by none other than King. This game attempt to move pass the franchise's usual match-3 gameplay by adding in fun new game modes, such as dunk the cookie in the chocolate and free the octopuses and the mammoths, as well as the fact that you can now call on your favorite characters, your "friends", in the game for help. The game rewards are also so much more attractive this time around because you get to collect more friends and their outfits. However, many players have pointed out that the game has a pretty obvious cash-grab scheme - the little piggy banks that you get for "free" can only be opened using 30 Gold Bars. It would have been nice if there's a free option to open such rewards, like a long waiting period, maybe?Overall, Candy Crush Friends Saga builds on the original games by providing its fans with exciting new game modes and friends whom you could call upon for help, while retaining the style that had made the franchise popular among gamers. It is definitely a step up!
