Mahjong Magic Journey

[h1]Mobile Trash..[/h1] Wanting to play something without an asinine time limit by MTX filled Lost Lands: Mahjong, I bought this dirt cheap. I refunded this in 50 mins. [h1]CONS:[/h1] [olist] [*] [b]UI/UX[/b]: Garbage UI/UX that feels unresponsive. You can't even deselect cards you've selected, though I'm sure there's any need to since you can just keep clicking any card without any negatives. You can't scale UI or change rest. It's one of those indie games where all art is made at like 1280x720 res and then scaled up in a blurry mess on higher res. Which is also the reason all cards look tiny, since the art is designed for mobiles, not PC with larger resolutions. There is no borderless fullscreen, so if you watch YouTube or something on a secondary monitor while playing this game (the reason why I bought it), the game keeps getting minimized. So tiny cards, terrible mobile UI, unresponsive menus, sound sliders which don't properly depict the volume levels, etc. It's just a terrible experience. [*] [b]GAMEPLAY ANNOYANCE[/b]: Now the biggest reason for me, for refunded this game, was the asinine "HINT" a lot of these indie shovelware games have. "What's that? Took more than 5 seconds to look around and find the cards? Well, we can't have that. Here, let the game highlight matching cards for you because you must be brain-dead." This is the same ♥♥♥♥ a lot of match 3 games have. You aren't allowed to sit down and enjoy a game, you have to keep playing non-stop, no breather, else the game will spoil the game for you by throwing hints. Nah, I'm good. [*] [b]SHOVELWARE WITH STOLEN ASSET-FLIPS?[/b]: If you look at other titles in the series "Mahjong Magic Journey", developer spammed these games on Steam with only background changes. These are all the same games with only backgrounds changed. Some person in reviews have even claimed the backgrounds were stolen from the net (those wallpaper sites). Whether or not the images are stolen, these games are just dumped without any effort or improvements put into them, which is funny because these games were dumped years apart on Steam, and are all same with missing achievements and Steam cards from anything but the first game (which was added to Steam on 2018, years after second and third title in the series). [/olist] [h1]PROS:[/h1] [olist] [*] First game in the "series" of shovelware is dirt cheap, if you don't care about quality and are dying to play more Mahjong (with tiny cards on res larger than 1080p). [/olist] I refunded it. Not a big fan of lazy mobile games being dumped on Steam with minimum effort and attention put into them to make them desktop playable.

This is a very interesting take on Mahjong Solitaire. Making certain tiles the objective instead of just eliminating all tiles makes this game different from all others I have seen of Mahjong Solitaire. Since some objective tiles are hidden from view by other tiles luck is often required to meet the turn objectives. A welcome option would be to highlight piles of tiles that contain objective tiles making skill more important to success in the game. The game is visually very appealing and easy to learn, while at the same time being quite challenging. It is easy for me to recommend this game to any Steam members that enjoy Mahjong Solitaire.

[h1][b]A nice and more challenging Mahjong game[/b][/h1] [b]This game has many good points:[/b] * it works fine in general (however in some circumstances it may freeze); * it is a good Mahjong game, with some creativity; * there are both Steam and Game Achievements that may require some work; * the space it takes on your PC is almost symbolic (60 Mo) and suits old PCs very well; * if you buy it when discounted, it has an excellent price/entertainment value. [b]The bad points:[/b] is that it may become grindy if you try to get perfect on ingame and Steam Achievements. The game may freeze in some circumstances and force you to restart the setup you were working on. [b]How it is presented:[/b] * you can decide which symbology you prefer to use on the tiles; * if you vary and try playing with the three different option offered, it helps improve replayability; * there are 6 levels with 2 pages of setups each; * each level has 2 pages with 10 Mahjong setups each, for a total of 120 set-ups in the game; * each setup has 3 stars to get (one each for Tiles, Moves and Points awarded); * there are 2 types of tiles: regular tiles and golden tiles; * gameplay is varied with different rules for solving each setup; * only a couple of setups have a timer which stops when you have removed all golden tiles; * there is a multiplicator icon that gets boosted when you remove tiles, the golden ones boost more; * there are 12 achievements to be had, be aware that In-game and Steam Achievements are not necessarily the same; * the most difficult Achievement to get is the 15x booster one (there are a few setups in the last level that will help with that one - page 2/2 setups 6 or 10 are handy in that regard) I got more than 60 hours of entertainment out of it. If you are into that type of game, then try it out. For the price, specially at a discount, you cannot go wrong.

Nicht mein Ding. Man soll hauptsächlich goldene Steine abräumen und möglichst viele von den normalen übrig lassen. Das in so wenig Zügen (sie sind auch limitiert) wie möglich und auf Zeit. Und der letzte Punkt nervt einfach nur, da ich entspannt spielen wollte. Also eher auf Logik und Spielzüge fokussiert (wenn dann ab und an mal was auf Zeit dazwischen wäre, gar kein Problem. Aber das ganze Spiel scheint so aufgebaut zu sein). Das ist der eine Punkt. Der zweite ist, dass man nach einer gewissen Weile angezeigt bekommt, wie es weiter geht (es werden also die 2 passenden Spielsteine angezeigt - wahhh). Also versuche ich immer schneller als das Spiel zu sein (okay, ungewollt tue ich dann das, was verlangt ist), damit der blöde Tipp nicht vorher erscheint. Macht also keinen Spaß. In der ersten Welt läuft alles nach gleichem Schema ab. Du hast eine bestimmte Anzahl an Zügen, eine Anzahl von goldenen Steinen die abgeräumt werden sollen und versuchst so schnell wie möglich alles zu erledigen. Die Formen, welche die Steine bilden unterscheiden sich in den Levels. Vielleicht kommt später noch mehr Abwechslung dazu, was man nur hoffen kann. Denn ansonsten ist es auch sehr eintönig. Man bekommt pro Level 3 Bewertungen, hat man mindestens eine davon erreicht, schaltet man das nächste frei. Was passiert, wenn man keine der Bedingungen erfüllt, weiß ich nicht. Wiederholen? In der ersten Welt ist alles noch leicht machbar. Diese ist aber auch die "Anfängerwelt", später kommen fortgeschritten, Meister usw. dazu.
