Crush the Castle Legacy Collection

Crush the Castle 1: Great classic! Crush the Castle 2: Great Classic! Crush the Castle 3: Yeah, I can see why Angry Birds won, that one is a complete mess. But 2/3 isn't bad.

These games are okay to buy if on sale, not worth the full price in my opinion. They're good games, pretty easy (way easier than what I remembered as a kid lmao) and gave me a good amount of nostalgia. The first game is the classic one, good throwing mechanics, lots of ammunitions, fun but easy. The second game builds on the first and improves it, new ammunitions, a new mechanic to break the things you shoot at even though most stuff still don't break, and a new a pretty fun game mode. The third game is a total redesign to implement Angry Birds style stuff and I have to say I didn't really like it. It clearly wasn't as fun as the others, although the things you shot at broke more easily which was satisfying. However, you don't get to choose your ammunitions and the throwing mechanic is whacky and imprecise, timing matters less as there are only a finite amount of possible trajectories, even if you click at different times you still can get the same shot. Some levels are also purely luck-based, and one of them was just bad design (you had 4 shots for 4 targets, 3 out of 4 shots required very precise timing and a little bit of luck, it took me 3 hours to get the 3 gold medals on this level, no fun at all). I'd say this is an average experience overall, not deserving of a negative review but, as I said, not worth the full price.
