Puzzlejuice - GameClub

I don’t normally write reviews, but this game was an unfortunate exception. See, initially I was intrigued because I love word and matching games, so this seemed like a match made in Heaven! I saw this app recommended to me while playing Threes Freeplay and immediately tapped on it to learn more. However, after the first few minutes of playing, it became virtually unplayable because of the sheer lack of free-to-play options. Mostly everything is locked behind a paywall, and I do not understand zen mode at all. This game, while advertised as free, is anything but that. I would’ve gladly payed a few dollars just to buy the game outright instead of being bombarded with subscription pop-ups and paywalled features. I’m very disappointed. The only reason I’m giving this game 2 stars instead of 1 is because I enjoy the concept. Otherwise, this game is a hard pass, and I wish I could find a truly free-to-play alternative somewhere. “We’re like the Netflix of puzzle games,” that phrase is more ironic than you think.
