    Move over Candy Crush Saga, the crown for fast-paced puzzling crown now rightfully belongs to Papa Pear.

    Papa Pear Saga is a fun, solid puzzle game, with plenty of levels and power-ups to unlock, even if you have to pay for them.

    If you're a Peggle fan who's completely exhausted the game, by all means, give it a go, you've got nothing to lose, but otherwise, there's really no reason you shouldn't be playing Peggle instead of this.

    Papa Pear Saga is a very different kind of game for the Saga brand. Without having to wrack one's brain over puzzles, it might appeal to those looking for a more relaxing experience. The control freaks out there might just find that lack of direction a frustration though.

    Gameplay-wise, it’s solid – but the frustrating approach to difficulty and the clear focus on getting your money through in-app purchases doesn’t make for a particularly compelling game.

    Technically it is possible to complete all of the levels without using any of the power-ups, but with so much of the game based on chance the game is designed to try and make players reliant on power-ups to squeeze a few more dollars from players.The insidious design sours the fun of Papa Pear Saga's vibrant and cheery stages, making it a far wiser investment to just play through Peggle again instead.

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with it's gameplay outside of the fact that it will ramp up the difficulty just so King has a chance to grab at your wallets. The problem is that shooting a little ball that bounces off object in order to score points just isn't that entertaining. A lot of the blow is cushioned by that fact that the game is free-to-play, but that still doesn't make it worth your time. With it's lackluster gameplay and attempts at getting you to use micro-transactions, you're better off skipping this one.… Full Review »
