Matchington Mansion 12+

Fun but very pay to play

This is bittersweet because on the one hand, it’s perhaps the best of its kind. Incredibly well made, engaging, great art, and fun. On the other hand, it’s starts as an mild pay to win which gradually morphs into an aggressive pay to play. Don’t spend any money on this because regardless of how much money you waste you’ll eventually end up stuck on an unbeatable level waiting for your lives to refill. It’s frustrating even having not paid a dime. I can’t imagine how frustrated someone would feel who paid 40 or more and still couldn’t play. A game that punishes you for playing it. While the grind and generosity level is a bit more reasonable in this game than other similar games, in the end it wears the same stripes. You can either exercise a LOT of patience, or a tiny little bit of money. I think my patience has worn out. This could be a great game if it wasn’t so frustrating. The number of times I’ve lost a level 50 times in a row, where even one more move would have made the difference, shows a devious level of careful calibration of difficulty to force you into situations that demand money to continue playing. I’m done with this nonsense. Not to mention that the ads are not accurate as to what the gameplay entails to begin with.

Yes, yes splendid 👏

Mk, so a lot of people might be saying this is a money user. But.. I’ve never spent a single penny and I’d say im doing pretty amazing. The levels may be hard and challenging but would you really like it if it was just easy? I feel like there wouldn’t be a purpose to it, and it would get boring. It’s pretty engaging even though I have no clue if there’s an ending 😂. I would like if you could make and customize your own character. There have literally been almost no ads. And it’s never crashed for me in my life. This is an amazing game and people should be thankful for it. Like, oh no, it’s so hard well good you can’t expect everything in life too be easy! And they don’t FORCE you to spend money, you can easily just try the level again and perhaps pass it. It’s very soothing and I admit it can be frustrating when I lose, but it was designed to get harder. Like ANY GAME. And if there were any bugs before then they are all gone now. I’ve been playing this game since 8 and it’ll always be my first choice. So pls accept this game don’t be mad if something happens and it’s really a boredom buster. And if it gets way too hard, then your just gonna have to try again. It’s an amazing reminder of life getting harder and that yes, your not going to always get it on the first time and might have to try again.

Fun but...

I really like the idea of the game but as some of the reviewers in the past have said, it’s waaaaaaaaay too slow to be interesting. I would much rather spend my time on the actual decorating than the candy crush type game play... I mean that’s not why I downloaded it... I didn’t even know that there was a matching game to it. I saw an ad from a different game and this is not at all what I thought it would be based on the ad. I can see maybe a different type of game for different challenges and also different amounts of stars, but you can’t increase the amount of stars that we need to complete tasks and only give us one star for completing each level. Plus I’m on level 29 and it’s taking me forever to complete the level. They progress so quickly in difficulty, and looking at the size of the “mansion” there is no way in hell I’ll be making it past level 50... I also don’t want to have to wait 10 mins to get 1 life. Either make it make me wait 1 hour for 15 lives or make me wair 2 mins for 1 but it’s way too long between running out and I definitely do not want to pay for anything. There also needs to be more coins given away because 20 a game is not getting me anywhere. I’m going to keep the game downloaded but only if there’s an update coming soon because there need to be quite a few prominent changes. Overall though, there is a good foundation to the game but there need to be changes to the game to make it better.
