Merge Gardens 4+

Level 303… Aargh!!

UPDATE: Have now moved on but boy, was that a tough one! Still would like to have a community option without involving my social networks.

Love this game to the point that this is the only game that I now play….. However, I have reached level 303 & can’t get further. I have been playing for days, used up all my boosters, spent my gems & still can’t move on - frustrating! I will continue to play but refuse to spend £ & there is only a short period of time that this will remain enjoyable without me moving on and trying another game (probably one of the ones that have been suggested in the many ads I’ve watched in an attempt to move on) In other games you have access to a community to help you, why is there no community with this game without me involving my social networks?

Love it

This must be one if the best merge games around, the characters are super cute and finally we have a merge game that has loads to do although the creatures only do three actions before going back to sleep it doesn’t seem to matter how many times they have evolved which really needs addressing. The only problem I foresee with this game is if the match three gets to hard to play as I for one would leave this game in an instant if they did. I am not a big match three person but because these match three are basically simple and they help collect items I tolerate them. Your prices to purchase extra land etc are more expensive than other games and it puts me off buying them.

Barely a game

Slickly produced, with (at first glance) a seemingly endless variety of options, there’s very little in the way of an actual game here: fundamentally it’s a very carefully constructed micro transaction machine, encouraging you at every turn to pay a little here, a little there, to keep moving forward without needing to wait, to add a different cute bit of content, to get an extra life so you can beat that puzzle. It may seem that there are lots of achievements to earn, but again it’s very much illusory. You’re given enough in the way of hints and resources to let you keep opening up new areas, getting new plants and wildlife etc, but the differences are cosmetic, so much so that the mammals hatch from eggs exactly as the birds do. Minimal challenge, constant encouragement to play and pay… it all feels so very pointless and cynical.

But it’s *very* slickly constructed, I’ll give them that.
