    I downloaded this game recently. At first I was questioning whether or not I would have time to play it as I just bought my new PS4 with Kill Zone. However, now I'm struggling to find time for the PS4. The graphics on this game rivals next-gen graphics, and the soundtrack is brilliant. It feels like I'm watching a movie every time I play. The 64-player multi-player is also fantastic. MyI downloaded this game recently. At first I was questioning whether or not I would have time to play it as I just bought my new PS4 with Kill Zone.

    Great game that set a new standard for puzzle games with hundreds of levels. Each level gets a little tougher the higher you go. New candy is also added to make things more interesting.

    Great game with good puzzle progress and more than enough levels to keep you busy. I finally called it quits after reaching level 1000 but still think its an awesome game.

    I started playing because a friend "invited" me to play. I started to play, and didnt realize how much time actually passed before I ran out of "lives". If you've played Bejeweled, or Sweet Tooth on pogo.com and enjoyed it, this game is right up your alley.

    I can't stop playing this game. It's so addictive and I just want to get through all the puzzles. However minus 2 points because the amount of money they charge for things is ridiculously expensive. I guess I just have to wait for friends to help me out....

    DON'T START TO PLAY IT!!!. if you don't have time, it is a really addicted one, I was at the middle of my univ exam when I installed it in my phone and I just started to play 247. two times un-installed with no success.
    now I am playing it on my Laptop and desktop even.

    It's a really addicting game, and a fun one as well, but the one downside is the lives. Why do the app makers have to result to finding a way to make more money? You basically have to pay to keep playing if you lose a level after a while. Either that, or you have some really patient and nice Facebook friends that'll get you out of the hole!

    ¿2,7? ¿Es una broma? ¿Como puede tener la basura de Flappy Bird mas nota que Candy Crush?
    El juego es totalmente recomendable para pasar ratos muertos, ni caso a las malas notas, será gente que se deja timar con los objetos de pago y que no sabe jugar sin eso.
    El juego es mas adictivo de lo que parece en un principio y se puede pasar sin problemas sin pagar nada.
    Un buen juego.

    Candy Crush is a massive & tasty hit. Absolutely enjoyable and very entertaining. Nothing too too special and nothing less than special, just a simple but surprisingly super fun riddle-like game.

    I've played this game both in iOS and Android. I think that it's a great game. It's challenging mind and mostly, it looks delicious! But bejeweled game are better than Candy Crush Saga because it always make me hungry.

    This game is extremely frustrating and unforgiving. But it is so rewarding when you beat a hard level and you get that sense of accomplishment. Candy Crush is a solid iOS game.

    I am enjoying this game but the hint comes in way too quickly and spoils the game. I'm on level 52 and hope that there will be some different tasks soon. The tasks are becoming way to repetitive.

    While there is nothing particularly wrong with it's gameplay, this is an entirely unoriginal game. I've played several different versions of this match 3 or more style of gameplay, and there are countless other versions of the game out there with more interesting themes.

So why has this version of the classic gameplay style reached such an incredibly large scale of popularity? To be honest I can't tell you why.

    I can see why so many view this game as addictive. With it's multitude of levels and simple yet occasionally challenging style of gameplay, it makes for a mildly entertaining pick up and play anywhere sort of experience. All I can say is that this game in no way grabbed me. I'm not addicted to it, and that might just be that I've played and reviewed a couple of these types of games already. There's definitely something here for the right crowd of people, but I'm just not one of them.

    As far as I'm concerned it's a mildly entertaining, entirely unoriginal, and almost forgettable experience. Maybe you'll get addicted to it like so many others have, but there are better versions of the game already out there. It did provide me some entertainment, but the lack of originality killed it for me. Overall I give it a 6.4/10-Ok.    … Expand

    ótimo jogo, estou na fase 100, e a cada fase me vicio mais ainda, porém acho que assim como muitos jogos do 'King' eles deveriam ser bem mais criativos nas fases, pois parece em alguns casos que algumas fases parecem as mesmas.
    Mas em contraponto é um bom jogo para se divertir nessa quarentena.

It will take a few days just to reach nigh levels unlike other games there. And since other similar, popular games had different functionality the users can enjoy playing instead of the single and quite repetitive board level game (Candy Crush has), the game can be boring if you can't level up fast.

    And acquiring important game tokens or items is tediously difficult and long when you are leveling up. Not to mention, annoying voice overs when you completed a level game. It's quite funny and depressing at the same time.

    Ok guys let's clear one thing up, addictive does not mean perfect. The game is addictive because it is scientifically designed to be. Anyway this game could get a 8/10 if it created the match-three genre, but it does not. In fact this game shows me that if I made a match-three genre and put something sweet in it, I could make millions.

    Candy Crush Saga is King.com Limited's first (and biggest) hit, and it's basically a free-to-play(?) rip-off of Bejeweled and other match-three games. The visuals are just ok.

The character design is a little weird, but it doesn't matter that much, because these games aren't played for their story. The soundtrack is quite repetitive and bland Facebook game-esque music, and the sound effects can be annoying at times.
    The game "would" play fine, with lots of mechanics introduced to shake things up. I say would because there are lots of the usual free-to-play "traps". Charging for power-ups and making certain levels extremely hard/luck-based without them are usual things that one can expect, but there is one feature that single-handledly breaks the game: lives. This horrendously implemented system gives you a limited number of lives at the start of the game. Each time you fail to complete the given objective of the level, you lose a life. When you lose them all, it's a game over...literally. You've to wait a certain amount of time in order to continue playing, and recharging all your 5 lives takes way too much time. You have also the option of buying them. Not a "unlimited lives pass", no. You have to buy EACH LIFE separately. This makes what would have been a decent if unoriginal time killer into a complete waste of game. The worst part is that almost (if not) every title of them has the same system, that causes the same problems. With so many better offerings (including any title in PopCap's Bejeweled series), there is no reason to lose precious time in winning what are 400 tedious levels.    … Expand
