7 Wonders: Treasures of Seven

Недавно приобрел бандл игр серии 7 Wonders. В детстве я часами проводил время за 7 Wonders of the Ancient World, и до сих пор помню тот восторг от каждой победы. Но кто мог подумать, что эта серия настолько обширна? Два года назад я даже нашел версию для Android на Play Market, но, увы, игру внезапно удалили, и отобрали у меня игру... Сегодня наконец прошел первую часть за 12 часов. Конечно, "Три в ряд" уже не кажется таким уникальным, и игра, кажется, не так хорошо выдержала испытание временем, как Zuma. Но современные игры этого жанра предлагают гораздо больше разнообразия и увлекательности, особенно платные версии. В конце концов, это отличная казуальная игра, которую можно запустить на фоне, расслабиться и наслаждаться, пока в ушах играет лекция или подкаст. Это идеальное сочетание для тех, кто хочет отдохнуть, но при этом чему-то учиться или узнавать новое. Игры серии 7 Wonders, несмотря на свой возраст, все еще могут доставить массу удовольствия и стать отличным спутником для приятного времяпровождения.

Pretty good game

Decent match-3 with a twist, but also a bit of a grind 7 Wonders: Treasures of Seven is a cozy little match-three puzzler with a gimmick that actually works: rotating the board to guide the key to the lock. It adds a nice layer of planning on top of the usual “match colorful gems and watch stuff explode” formula. When it clicks, it’s satisfying to set up chains, rotate at the right moment, and watch the path open up exactly as you intended. That said, it also feels quite repetitive after a while. The basic loop doesn’t really evolve much, and the game leans heavily on doing the same type of level again and again with slightly higher requirements. It’s the kind of puzzle game that’s relaxing in short sessions but starts to drag if you play for too long. Presentation is fine: music is harmless background noise, visuals are dated but readable, and performance is solid. No major bugs, no crashes, it just works. It’s also very easy to run on basically any modern machine. If you enjoy classic casual match-three games and want something light to zone out with for a bit, this is a reasonable choice. If you’re looking for depth, variety, or modern production values, this will probably feel more like a nostalgic time-killer than a must-play.

Do you remember your dad sitting around for hours matching jewels on his phone or laptop back in the day? Well, times have changed - now you’re the dad, and this game will have you doing exactly the same. This is a simple, old‑school puzzle game. Nothing fancy, nothing groundbreaking. The gameplay is formulaic, and the one twist it introduces - rotating the board and guiding the 7 to its target - shows up early. Still, it’s just as addictive as it was nearly 20 years ago, and the pixel art has aged surprisingly well. A modern indie game could easily use the same style. Is it worth ten bucks? Probably not. Is it something you can sink a few hours into and genuinely enjoy? Absolutely. It’s the perfect pick during a sale, when you want to use up leftover gift card credit or round out a “build your bundle” deal. You won’t regret it.

Yes, this might be "just another match-3 game" but it's also one of my favorite styles of games to play! And this one comes with a twist. Interested? Let me tell you about it! Inside this version of 7 Wonders, you get to build nine structures in total, which you'll complete at the same time you work on building an outer cube and an inner cube which holds a compass. Once you build all nine structures, you're teleported off to a secret city! Super neat. My favorite aspect about this game is the small bonus game you've got once you complete the first part of your match-3. Oh yes, I did say 'first part'. That is because once you earn the things you're supposed to, you get to move a cube along a pathway to reach each level's lock! Now, I sure did have some issues on some of these and would likely run out of time on them, but it is such a nice twist! The art/graphics are nice and simple, but beautiful. I've always enjoyed their details in this series, even if they're "outdated" as some people would say. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a good match-3, a puzzle, or just learning about some historic buildings!
