What players say

Players are split on this Luxor entry. Many fans enjoy the familiar match-3 marble shooting, but a significant number call it the weakest in the series, citing reused assets from earlier games, a forced 800x600 resolution even by 2011 standards, bugs that break saves, and difficulty spikes on higher settings that feel unfair.
