Bejeweled is perhaps the brightest shining gem of casual PC gaming.

    It can be played on Plants vs. Zombies, too! PopCap, the devs of both games, added a version of this and Bejeweled Twist as minigames in PvZ.

    Anyone got a favorite “more involved” version of this?

    Or more specifically, how is the new Puzzle Quest, if you’ve tried it? Is it good, unlike all the mobile-centric later PQ games that came out over the years? Because until now HuniePop/HuniePop2 were still the best Bejeweled variant, IMO, but I’ve not tried PQ yet.

      Might and magic : clash of heroes by far, but the story/overworld bits in between the actual gameplay take too long.

    I really want a version of Bejeweled to kill time with on my phone. But all that seems to be available is the usual heavily monetized mobile slop.

    A few adult games made me realize I like the base concept of the game if it finds a way to feel rewarding and doesn’t ratchet up in difficulty (eg, mechanics that cover half the screen in stones)

    Still haven’t really located a game that applies the match 3 formula in a way that makes me want to keep playing. EA’s touch is definitely one of those souring aspects.
