If you are looking for a fun and addictive game that will have you playing on your phone for hours, then look no further than Sparkle Unleashed. This is one of the best games I have played on my iPhone and would recommend it to anyone. Sparkle Unleashed will have you bringing light back into this dark world for hours on end.

If you want a match-3 puzzle game on the Switch, then definitely take a look. It's a nice, casual puzzle game that might infuriate you on occasion, but will certainly keep you occupied.

I was left wishing that it had done more, instead of repeating its few gameplay challenges again and again.

There clearly is a market for games like Sparkle Unleashed, but what's sad to see is that there was a lot of effort put into the game. There are animated cut scenes and visually appealing visuals, but the raw lack of innovation in a kind of game that is rapidly showing its age really does let it down.
