Solitaire Associations Journey

If you want to spend money to pass a level get this game, I have downloaded another similar game and much more enjoyable without spending a fortune!

I love this game but I can’t get into it. There’s an ad before and after every level, and then halfway in between too. It’s just frustrating and I find myself closing the game and wanting to delete it. You can only watch so many redeemable ads, but it forces you to watch them every two minutes anyway. £9.99 is far too pricey to remove ads.

Ads and constantly being pushed to pay in order to just get through a single round. You can watch an ad for ‘five extra turns’ but just turning a card is one turn, then moving it is another… so you can see how this goes. It takes away from the gameplay so I’m deleting even tho I initially liked the concept.

Love the concept of this and fair to say made it through 1000 levels so fair time to judge. Starts out well with levels that seem to be well thought out, as you get deep enough in to the game for it to be unfeasible to write that many levels it gets very AI sloppy. My favourite example is the category ‘ASAP’; it had associations that made sense and then “Rocky”. My research led me to a rap artist named ‘asap rocky’. Technically correct but no human would make that association. I’ve got to say there were a couple of occasions where I was amused by the absurd things the generative AI hallucinations spat out for card pictures but I was mainly disappointed. The levels also get absurdly “hard”. I put that in speech marks as finishing the levels becomes nothing to do with skill and everything to do with the order the cards are drawn and hoping you get lucky. It’s lazy design and likely a result of being play tested by AI. Over the last few months the addition of games and challenges started to feel very bloaty. Let the game stand on its own. I appreciate the tactic to slow down the experience so that users don’t reach the end as quickly. They were fun rewards early on when there weren’t too many but when the later levels need you to be almost card perfect, you can no longer complete multiple levels in a row. The 1 year anniversary artwork was the nail in the coffin for being convinced of the use of AI. You can do better. The last disappointment was flicking through the reviews and seeing the ‘developer responses’. They seem disingenuous. I’ll happily eat my hat if they’re not AI written as well and look forward to seeing whether a human takes the time to reply or throw it in to a Chatbot to do the work for them. This review started out as a 3, but as I wrote more, the more disappointed I became.

Constant adds to knock off concentration on the rare ones you meed to. Some levels are extremely easy. Others are impossible unless you buy coins and pay money. I’ve been stuck on one for days tried every possibility and “by chance” when it gives me an option for an extra 5 moves that option disappears when I’m <5 moves away from completing that level
