    Grindstone is an awesome arcade puzzler in match-3 style. Its cartoonish visuals with refreshing gameplay are more than enough to make it a must play for every fan of arcade games.

    The basic concept of grindstone is incredibly simple. With more than 200 puzzles, it nevertheless brings with it many hours of fun. Unfortunately, the mouse support of the PC-version is clumsy and therefore, we strongly recommend using a gamepad.

Grindstone is the most unsatisfying, pay-to-win-feeling game that somehow doesn't have microtransactions. Grinding has rarely felt so empty and pointless. So much color and life wasted on such a dull, one-note game.… Full Review »
