The music in the game is generally well-received, described as soothing and fitting well with the overall audiovisual presentation, though some users noted that it resets each time the main menu is loaded. While the soundtrack may feature tracks from the previous game, it remains enjoyable and enhances the gaming experience, with separate volume settings available for customization.
“The soundtrack is soothing and nice to listen to while wasting the hours away.”
“Predictably beautiful audiovisual presentation (pretty sure the music is from the previous game), separate volume settings, windowed mode (non-resizable), widescreen toggle, custom cursor, and a bunch of card backs and fronts are available, plus there's an optional tutorial, a music player, wallpapers, and concept art/making of.”
“Also, music resets every time the main menu is loaded, even if you're just clicking around in other menus there.”

“I really like the graphics, they're as beautiful as they were in the previous Jewel Match games.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious and frustrating, particularly in relation to unlocking content like fish. Despite not being a port of a pay-to-win mobile game, the lack of rewards or achievements for the effort put into grinding further diminishes the experience.
“From a quick search, it seems like this isn't a port of a pay-to-win mobile game, so why the hell is this so annoyingly grindy?”
“I liked the idea of the fish manager, but unlocking some of the fish is tedious and annoying, and there are no achievements for going to the trouble to unlock that content.”
“This is so grindy.”

The story aspect of the game is intertwined with a quest line that players can access through a cluttered menu and map interface, which some find cumbersome. While the main narrative includes a solitaire storyline, players appreciate the variety of additional games that enhance the overall experience.
“Being able to play the quest line and also play each separate type adds depth to the experience.”
“Besides the solitaire story, there is a good selection of extra games to keep it interesting.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent flow, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“Character development is minimal, leaving many protagonists feeling one-dimensional.”
“The plot twists are predictable and fail to deliver any real surprises.”
