Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:02
cons of the video game Gem Crush Match 3
0:06
on Not Now Mom, I'm Gaming. These are
0:09
short videos featuring all my little
0:10
nitpicks and pleasantries of having
0:12
played the game while sustaining a bare
0:16
Let the reviewing begin. Pros: It's
0:19
free. Free games are sometimes scarier
0:22
than horror games because you really
0:24
don't know what you're getting into
0:25
until you play them. Are they free
0:27
because they suck or because the dev was
0:29
feeling generous? Didn't feel the need
0:30
to put a price to it. Well, this one
0:33
sucked. But hey, it was free, so that's
0:40
Clicks don't register. You have to slide
0:42
an icon over to where you want it to go
0:44
in order to match three or more, right?
0:46
That's how these games work. With this
0:48
game, you click and slide and it does
0:50
nothing. So, you do it again. Still
0:53
nothing. once more and you wonder maybe
0:55
you can't move the icon for some reason
0:57
or another. Nope. It's a game. It
1:00
doesn't register half the clicks you
1:02
make, so you constantly have to try try
1:04
and try again in order to move the
1:07
Same Candy Crush icons.
1:10
Listen, it's been a good long while
1:12
since I even touched Candy Crush, but by
1:15
golly, that game made somewhat of an
1:17
impression on me, and I do recall some
1:18
of those icons. The main one that I know
1:21
is a ripoff is the I don't know,
1:23
chocolate ball with sprinkles on it.
1:25
It's not the exact same image, but it's
1:27
fairly close being vector art. It looks
1:29
like still, it's the same concept. Why
1:32
does it have to be a chocolate ball? Why
1:34
couldn't they have made it into
1:35
something else? It's gem crush, and that
1:38
thing is clearly some kind of candy.
1:41
Then, of course, we have the striped
1:42
icons and the packaged icons.
1:45
They didn't even try to make it remotely
1:46
different. And it gives these Match
1:48
three games a bad reputation for being
1:50
not just spin-offs, but replicas.
1:53
Yeah, everybody loved Candy Crush when
1:55
it came out. Doesn't mean they're going
1:57
to like yours unless you give us some
1:58
kind of unique flavor. A flavor that
2:03
Objectives not obvious.
2:05
Honestly, I didn't know there were
2:07
objectives. I was just matching icons
2:10
because I was aiming for three stars
2:11
within a set amount of moves. The
2:13
objectives are actually in the top left
2:15
of the screen and all it shows are
2:18
icons. If you want kids to play this, at
2:20
least make the objectives obvious.
2:25
For anyone that doesn't know, this means
2:27
I did not finish. I feel like the
2:29
reasons are pretty self-explanatory.
2:31
This isn't a clicker game, so I
2:33
shouldn't have to click constantly just
2:35
to get an icon to move. And there was
2:37
absolutely no way I was going to be
2:39
struggling with that flaw for probably
2:41
100 levels if I were to guess. And
2:44
that's the end of a person cons.
2:48
Thanks for watching everyone and don't
2:50
get in too much trouble when you say,
2:52
"Not now, Mom. I'd giving
