Candy Crush Saga 4+

I got so frustrated with this game, and the greedy developers, that I left this game for 2 years. It was great; I got used to getting a full set of lives in an hour. I got used to being awarded treats that I could use right in that very level. I got used to being on a winning streak longer than two levels. So, after two years, I thought to give this game another shot. Well...

I should have left well enough alone. The developers are still greedy in that,1) it still takes 2-1/2 hours to load up five lives, which means any treats/boosters with a timer will expire before your next life in 30 minutes. And, 2) that brings up another asinine bit; if I get a color bomb with a timer, that booster is not showing on my current level...or the next...or the next. So, how the hell am I supposed to use this timed booster if it’s never an option????

Every app game has its quirks, but this one tops them all. See you in another two years; maybe by then this bunch of greeds will have caught up with the rest of the game world.

I love candy crush saga, however I do have a love hate relationship with it I mean it doesn’t have ads, and it is free. However there are somethings that I don’t love about it. I don’t like that you get 5 moves for a whole 10 gold that you only get once in a blue moon. I have had candy crush saga for about 4 days now and it is super fun but something to know getting into Candy Crush Saga is they are very stingy on the gold, so once you get some, hang onto it until you absolutely need it. I love that they have the competitions and I look forward to seeing many more in the future, however don’t get your hopes up on winning, millions of people play this game, so your chances of winning are literally 1 in a million. The hearts take FOREVER to reload, it takes 30 minutes for one heart which means for 5 hearts it’s literally 2 and a half hours, but that’s what makes me thankful that they have the option to ask friends for hearts. And this game definitely takes a lot of strategy. But as you can see I gave it an overall 3 stars, it’s super fun but there is definitely room for improvement. But overall I would recommend Candy Crush Saga, however if you don’t have patience this is definitely not the game for you.
Age recommendation: 15+
I recommend that this game is for kids 15+, it takes excessive amounts of patience and strategy and I could see littler kids getting upset due to things not going the way they wanted.

I am on level 4000. What I have learned is that every game now takes several days to a week to win unless you pay. I am really, really sick of this. It hasn’t been fun for some time now. I rarely play anymore because of the constant frustration of levels with too few moves and it has become obvious that they intentionally mess with your game so you cannot win. It is not random. My husband and I both play. I originally signed him up from my account years ago and I have contacted Candy Crush about the differences in his game and mine. I was informed by an employee that they give different players different options and opportunities. He occasionally buys stuff, I do not. About a year ago I bought some power ups to see what would happen and the game became harder to win instantly. That and the constant, unending pop ups! Buy this, look at that, force you to look at some idiotic disapproving cartoon while you play, force you to participate in a race that drives home how you lost the race - Oh no! Hurry up and buy something so you can win!!!! I would buy the occasional power up if I found the game pleasant and fun. Since you are doing your best to force me to, I will not. I will continue to play when I need a distraction while I am waiting at an appointment but that’s about it.
