Pocket World-New Journey 4+

As a regular player of the original, I was excited to see the game brought back, but almost immediately I was let down by the style of the game play. Requiring stamina to assemble each model was an unfortunate addition. My biggest issue besides the constant ads, is needing to redo specific models in order to collect pieces to build models in a different area in order to continue along the path. And having to redo those models almost half a dozen times just to get ONE piece out of the five required to even build the required model is a waste of time. Bring back the old mode where I could go as far as I could, without needing to repeat a past model, in one sitting. And lessen the amount of ads that I have to sit through.
The old version had a way to get app support directly instead of going through the App Store. If things improve significantly in a timely manner, I may change my review.

I used to play this game when it was simple. You could pick any building you want and complete the ones in a collection to unlock a new collection. The controls were smooth and smart. There were color coded spaces for smaller blocks and there were excellent details. Now I'm stuck with this cheap, plastic-y version. I have to do all of the simple builds before I can unlock a fun, complex level. This game became the horrible, play for 1 day, ad ridden trend around it by appealing to 6-12 year olds. I would've paid money for in game currency before these trashy updates, now I wouldn't even dream of it. There's too many achievements, things to do, etc. I play complicated, long games when I want to but this was an escape for me, ruined by devs. I have never been more upset about the downfall of a game until this, this horrible monstrosity and I have never been more sad about an update. It's very rare that i find games that go downhill when updated, and it's just so sad. The entire community is sad. I know all of these negative reviews can relate and agree with me, and I doubt this or any of their reviews will make the old, good game come back. Disappointing. Seriously.

Much like the other reviews, I played the original game when it was basic. It was originally advertised as a similar, relaxing game to a word search puzzle. It introduced monuments and attentions from various countries which was really neat, and I enjoyed the original bonus levels where you could build a city. All you needed was to gain coins and diamonds. Plus you received a badge/award for each country you completed. Then some of the more bonus features arrived which weren’t too bad at first, but got worse along the way. Too much focus was put onto those levels instead of the actual puzzle game. Then it stopped. Now this game has been introduced which I was very excited about, hoping to get back to basics. Unfortunately, it is horrific. Too much trouble to play, needing stamina points to continue or extra bonuses. Having to watch too many ads to play. You spend more time watching ads than actual game play. And as said before, what’s with the stupid fairy theme? I didn’t even see an option for a male avatar. I want to try this game out as I really enjoyed the original, but it’s too dumb and complicated, a ghost of its former great life. I’m on the verge of just deleting it.
