Cave Quest 2
I got a review copy of this game for my curator and wrote this a month before release, so it might be slightly outdated.
Cave Quest 2 looks like a pretty run-of-the-mill Hidden Object game, but it’s actually a solid P&C match-3 puzzle adventure. I’m not familiar with the first Cave Quest, but didn’t feel like that was a problem.
This game is easy on the eyes with some really nice backgrounds, though there are no animations for the NPCs and their expressions were sometimes weirdly inappropriate for their text (voiceover only in a few cutscenes). The story isn’t mind-blowing, but it’s entertaining enough and written or translated/proofread by someone who actually knows English.

In this video I take a look at Cave Quest 2, a match 3 adventure.
This game is great! I ended up playing the entire thing including the extra story line. It plays like a point and click adventure only everything is done via match 3 matches, from the travel and combat to foraging and forging. So if you love match three’s your going to love this. The travel matches are particularly good as they offer a different perspective on the match 3. You need to clear tiles to move your avatar forward and the gems will drop in the direction you are moving.

The Enthralling Realms: The Blacksmith’s Revenge
Just your standard Match 3 game with pretty graphics. Not particularly difficult until the very last boss, who hides in a RNG bubble and sends way too many web-happy spiders after you …but he’s dead now and I’m having roasted dragon wings for supper. Plus a goblet of chianti. phtttttt :[

The atmosphere of this game hooked me to play this game. I enjoyed the relaxing gameplay and music. It looks like they decided to scrap the whole potion making options that were in the last Enthralling Realms game. For me it´s far the best of the 3 or 4 existing parts so far. There is a thrilling story line and interesting characters with good voice over, who appear with the ongoing story. The graphics are bright and clear and the special effects are unrivalled in other match-3 games I,´ve played. There are four different types of Power-ups available, and each one requires a Mana Meter refill after each use. The Mana Meter is refilled by making any Match, but larger matches will fill the meter more quickly. There are 5 chapters and at the end of each you have to defeat a beast to clear a chapter.Blacksmith’s Revenge is a really good Match 3 game with interesting board layouts that present a good challenge. The only two small minus points are that there is no option to select difficulty modes such as Relaxed, Normal or Hard and I hate I hate all the spiders that appear in the cut scenes.

OctoFurry
From my time playing the game I found quite a few bugs in the menus.
The actual GAME was fine, but with the menu so messed up it was unplayable on my mac laptop (the mini windows just refused to open!)
If it DID manage to get into the game it had sound.
On my PC desktop meanwhile it had the mini-windows but IT had no sound for the dialog!
This was EXTREMELY frustrating and no bug-testing would fix it (not even downloading or undownloading the leweder DLC)
If the game is under a buck and you got both a Mac and a PC- and are willing to re-play it on both (4 times on your mac blindly clicking if you want to hear all the voice-lines for the female path and then male path. But you’ll probably start playing on the desktop where you can actually see the freaking menus and change your difficulty)

I will say, when I saw this pop up in my recommendations for it being a furry game with tentacles, I was very intrigued but didn’t know what to expect. When I saw it’s only $2 and had some positive comments, I figured “Can’t hurt to try it.” After having played it and gotten some experience first, I will say it’s really fun for the puzzle game aspect.
The art is really nice, the characters look good, the dialogue is a nice mix of comical and serious to fit the situation, I do like the clever use of tentacles attacking and matching the puzzle pieces to do damage with your magic attacks. It is a little on the short side, but I’ve already seen mention more content is planned, so I’m glad for that. Patch or otherwise, it’s a nice looking game and pretty fun for what you get.

留白(WhiteWash)
Overall - 70/100
A relaxing watercolor “zuma-like” where you play as a cat
Playing as a cat - 20/20
Yes.
Acting like a cat - 5/20
You’re generally “shooting” your projectiles by knocking things off a ledge, which is obviously cat-like behavior. The menu is also full of small delights where you chew on plants and try to knock over vases. For most of the gameplay, though, the cat could be replaced with any other sprite (say, a frog) without losing anything.

This is a charming little idler game that is very relaxing.
The game is structured into 12 different paintings tied to months of the year, each with 4 stages. The goal is to match the paints (“Color Spirits”) to 1 or more of the same kind to eliminate them. Each stage sends out 100 Color Spirits to float through the scene and in order to pass the stage, you must get 60 points (1 point for each one you eliminate). Despite the simplicity of the concept, there is slight increasing of difficulty within each month’s painting stages. My favorite thing about this is the collision. You can send the Color Spirits sprawling into other, non-matching ones which can send them flying. This allows for a couple strategies. You can create chain reactions if the Color Spirits are placed just right! Or you can use non-matching ones to try and push Color Spirits into others of the same type within the line of floating spirits! But be careful; you can also push them right off the screen, which means you won’t be able to match them, so that’s fewer points for you to accumulate.

Story
Your family has disappeared in the mountains, and thanks to rumors of dangerous evil spirits, the locals are too afraid to help you search for them.

It’s so hard to find a good match-3 game. This is one of them. Thanks for the nice experience! This game has it all. Including beautifully designed gems which are hard to spot! Story that glues the experience together, smoothness, good professional design, even translation to my language which I didn’t need but it’s ok. Finally a game that I couldn’t take my hands off and felt urge to play on. Good product! Now I pity it’s over.
Criticism: sure to perfection it lacks more compelling story, less artificial or less cliche story, better art - one that would not be so kitchy and which would be less amateurish and a better translation. Thanks to these imperfections the game stays as just no-name game in game history, as it doesn’t bring any cultural contribution. But it’s professionally and well made product anyway. Relaxing and fun enough.

Gunspell - Steam Edition
pros:
-
Played like puzzle quest series, so if you like puzzle quest you’ll love this game
-
while there are some f2p element leftover from it’s mobile counterpart, it has been tone down substantially and you can easily acquire gold, the premium currency with a little bit of grinding ..
-
graphic is ok for a mobile port, personally i don’t care about graphic for this type of game
-
I personally love the music .. it’s kind of diablo’ish gothic kind of theme which suit the story ..
-
Easy to play and once you got hang of it, you’ll be addicted for sure .. while the gameplay seem too easy in the beginning, you’ll see at later stage you’ll need to strategize when fighting certain enemy .. being good at match 3 puzzle game doesn’t guarantee success, but it’s about your equipment, magic and a bit of luck .. also grinding ..

I paid $2 for Gunspell as part of a bundle, and it took me around 28 hours to finish the game once. This is gonna be a long one, so strap in. CTRL+F “don’t recommend” if you want to fast-forward.
Have you played Puzzle Quest? This game should come off as familiar, and I’ll be mentioning it often enough. Match-3 gameplay, taking turns with the enemy in order to be the last one standing, matching skulls to deal damage, matching gems to power up special attacks, getting EXP and money through matches…it’s familiar, but Gunspell does things kinda differently.

Can’t play till to end, can’t open the chest with crap in lvl 56 or 58 and got key before whatever i try it don’t work.
I “walked” with the crab around the full chest, it didn’t open.
This stupid octupus stole the pearl, why the hell poseidon don’t help, it could be just so easy…
The game is not complete typical match 3 game.
Sometimes you need to lead the crab to the cheat to open it.
The game has strategic aspects which makes the game interesting.
No grafic resolution options and it’s good.
