Jewel Quest

Not going to beat around the bush with this one, I'm not enjoying it. Jewel Quest is actually a series of games, Jewel Quest, Jewel Quest 2, Jewel Quest 3, and Jewel Quest Mysteries, pretty much the same game over and over.

This is essentially a Bejeweled game with a small twist, matching the gems on the board change the background tiles, change all the tiles to complete a board and move to the next one. The first 3 games are pretty much the same thing, although 2 and 3 give the extra twist of creating and matching gold coins, which just makes the levels a pain in the ass. Mysteries changes things up a bit by adding in the old "Find Crap in The Junk Pile" gimmick.

The gamplay is solid enough, although there is little to drive you forward other than completion of the game itself, which isn't for me. The game just didn't grab me.

I'm going 3/10 on this one, nothing wrong with it, but nothing right about it either. It's a better option than some games I've tried, but not by much.
