Candy Crush Saga is a free-to-play match-three puzzle video game released by King as a variation of their browser game Candy Crush. In the game, players complete levels by swapping colored pieces of candy on a game board to make a match of three or more of the same color, eliminating those candies from the board and replacing them with new ones, which could potentially create further matches. Boards have various goals that must be completed within a fixed number of moves, such as collecting a specific number of a type of candy. Read less

2/10 Jeu de merde mais qui a révolutionné l'industrie, surtout chez les daronnes.

"Sweet!" my ass..

I admit that for a time I was "hooked" has this game, but that's why I ended up hating it. It is a game where you have to pay money if you want to continue playing, it is very absurd, and after a long time I have realized that it is a waste of time since it is not a …

I admit that for a time I was "hooked" has this game, but that's why I ended up hating it. It is a game where you have to pay money if you want to continue playing, it is very absurd, and after a long time I have realized that it is a waste of time since it is not a game that gives you anything. A game with history gives you live unique experiences, a game online to have fun with friends, but a game that is simply a "puzzle" is something that all it does is make you lose time and money. Absurd and without coherence. My recommendation is that you dedicate your time to better things or games that give you something.

No jokes, game devs can learn a lot here

Been playing CS Saga a lot lately and it's amazing how much fun it is even if you see through it's superficial reward mechanics and almost absolutely absent gameplay as such.

Been playing CS Saga a lot lately and it's amazing how much fun it is even if you see through it's superficial reward mechanics and almost absolutely absent gameplay as such.

Candy Crush just feels smooth and satisfying at almost all times. Even if you know you're not performing much for the satisfying Crush - it feels nice. It's addictive af. It's not a good game, not by any means, but I think there's a lesson to learn for game devs here.

The movement of turns and play has to be smooth to feel well. The animations have to be satisfying and on point, crushing things feels nice... - sometimes that's all it's about. To make it clearer: if somebody asked me, why I find D3 better than PoE, I'd say D3 is candy crushier than PoE. Some of you might think that's a joke. But let that sink in.

Plays itself and you

Intro

This is a puzzle game where you have to match three or more of the same candy by swapping two pieces' places.

The core gameplay is fun, until you run into their nonsensical level design. The last level i played had a spot that could only be cleared by special candy. Ugh. It's also has a ton of …

The core gameplay is fun, until you run into their nonsensical level design. The last level i played had a spot that could only be cleared by special candy. Ugh. It's also has a ton of "mobiley" things with timed rewards and the like. Worst of all is how the game keeps going after you've won. It can literally take minutes for the game to complete dozens of moves the game makes by itself without any involvement on your part. Awful.

Il re dei puzzle game! Ci ho giocato per anni e ogni tanto torno a farci qualche partita. E' semplicissimo e velocissimo, ideale per le pause o per rilassarsi una mezz'oretta

Candy Crush Saga is a notorious match-3 puzzle game which somehow achieved explosive success in spite of sadistic level design, unpleasant freemium content, and a near-absence of style beyond colorful flashes of cutesy bullshit. While the gameplay is about as addictive as anything else in the genre, many level layouts are simply impossible without purchasing certain one-time-use boosters or getting an absolutely perfect randomly generated opening. I don't know how many hours I've sunk into this game, listening to that inexplicably catchy soundtrack and insisting that I could beat it without paying them a cent, but in the end I uninstalled it, and felt cleansed. Don't play this. Don't play this. Please. It may be enjoyable in its sickeningly sweet way, but the fact remains that it's just gaming fast food which sets a horrible precedent for the industry. If you can't find something better to play, you really haven't been trying hard enough.
