    The gameplay is generally satisfying, featuring enjoyable mechanics and a solid connection between progression and resource collection, though it can become repetitive over time. While the match-3 mechanics are straightforward and accessible, some players note a lack of variety in power-ups and features, with later installments in the series offering improved animations and additional gameplay elements.

    • “The mechanics are pretty satisfying, and I love the link between your progression and the amount of building materials you collect while playing.”
    • “Not for everyone, but if you like relaxing color-matching arcade games, this one has a fun texture, varied game mechanics, and some challenging puzzle levels.”
    • “Enjoy challenging match-3 gameplay in a newly enhanced interactive environment where you not only learn about marvelous new wonders such as Stonehenge and the Taj Mahal, but also watch them come to life piece by piece before your very eyes.”
    • “The gameplay becomes kind of repetitive after a while; each new wonder doesn't bring any meaningful extra twists to the table.”
    • “The graphics are too low-res, the gameplay too limited, and the extra features largely absent.”

  • music
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with many players praising the soundtrack as enjoyable and fitting well with the gameplay.

    • “+ music, SFX, and art blend very well with the gameplay.”
    • “The game is colorful, there are pretty nice bonuses, and the music is relaxing.”
    • “Anyway, 7 Wonders II is not the game with a sophisticated soundtrack like in Painkiller, Half-Life 2, or Will Rock.”
    • “The music is a bit annoying... frankly, it's not worth €9.99, but if you find it in any bundle, I recommend taking it!”
    • “Nothing special in graphics or music, and in my opinion, it's not worth $5.”
  • graphics
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally considered outdated, especially for a 2023 audience, with many reviewers noting low resolution and poor animations. However, some appreciate the cute art style and colorful visuals, suggesting that while the graphics may not be cutting-edge, they still serve their purpose within the gameplay.

  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is generally viewed as lacking depth, with users noting the absence of a compelling narrative or engaging plot elements. While some mention a thematic connection to "7 Wonders," it is not enough to elevate the experience, leading to a recommendation only if found in a bundle rather than at full price.

    • “The story has a lot of extra levels and bonuses, and there is, let's say, a narrative around it. The graphics are at a medium level, and the music can be a bit annoying, but overall, it's an enjoyable experience.”
    • “There's no 'going back to a wonder and getting the map part that you missed' in story mode, which adds a unique challenge to the gameplay.”
    • “There's no 'going back to a wonder and getting the map part that you missed' in story mode.”
    • “It has a lot of extra levels, bonuses, and there is, let's say, a story around it. The graphics are on a medium level, and the music is a bit annoying. Frankly, it's not worth €9.99, but if you find it in any bundle, I recommend taking it!”
    • “There's the 7 Wonders theme, but no story.”
  • monetization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers a free experience without in-game purchases, but it compensates with frequent ads that can disrupt gameplay, appearing every few levels or even mid-level. This has led to frustration among players, especially when ads cause crashes or interrupt critical moments in the game.

    • “The best and most important thing: no in-game purchases.”
    • “I appreciate that the game is completely free of microtransactions.”
    • “It's refreshing to play a game that doesn't pressure you into spending money.”
    • “Don't be happy so soon because if you're allergic to ads, the trade-off for offering it free is the constant barrage of ads from sponsors.”
    • “Every two or three levels (or about every 5 minutes), you'll be subjected to ads for 20 seconds (sometimes less).”
    • “The problem with ads is that in the second level of the game, they were crashing the game.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly in challenging areas like the bottom row and corners, which can detract from the overall experience. While the game features good art and calming music, the need for constant block-destroying spells highlights the grind's potential to become frustrating.

    • “It does work on Windows 10, or at least it does for me, but I needed to lower my general screen resolution to the old 800x600 standard to even make the game open, and then it was entirely too tedious and repetitive to be worth doing so.”
    • “This gets really tedious for the bottom row and corners, so much so that you pretty much have to have a block-destroying spell with you at all times.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players find it highly engaging and addictive, particularly due to its puzzle elements, others note that once completed, there isn't much incentive to replay it. The average completion time is around 4.5 hours, which may limit replay value for some.

    • “Took about 4.5 hours to complete this whole game, but being a puzzle game, it has high replay value.”
    • “Be aware though that there is not much replay value once you finish it.”
    • “The replay value can be high if you're addicted to the game.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
