    The legend has come back.. to Nintendo!

    Gameplay is amazingly deep, with tons of customization, and a lot of quests. Hoping for an in-game Combat Speed setting to help the grind in a future update.

    Think of Puzzle Quest: The Legend Returns as the definitive edition of a game that defined an era. [Issue #43 – November/December 2019, p. 20SW]

    It’s far less insidious than any of the myriad match-3 games that clog up Apple and Google’s respective storefronts, but it’s also not all that fun unless you really love grinding your way through match-3 puzzles. It could be a lot worse, and kudos to the game’s developers for resisting the allure of monetization, but Puzzle Quest: The Legend Returns’ appeal will definitely be limited.

    Puzzle Quest: The Legend Returns is still the same game but that isn’t a bad thing. Bundling in all the DLC and adding some new classics, this match-3 RPG hybrid is just as addictive today as it was over a decade ago.
