Bejeweled Deluxe

It's a good game, but just buy Bejewled 3, it's a strictly better version of this game that made this one obsolete.

While basic compared to its sequels, it's still a amazing and relaxing puzzle game to this day

It's Bejeweled... cmon man...

graphics are old mode/too pixelated as compared to newer versions, let alone the newest version

There are better versions of this game, but I still recommend it because there's nothing really wrong with it. I bought this version primarily because of the nostalgia of listening to Skaven tracks and the fact I used to play it on my laptop at my friend's restaurant in the mid 2000's while I waited for him to have lunch with me. (The browser version was free back then.) If you don't have any specific reason to play this version, it might be worth your while to check out a later version.

My friend passed away in late 2021, so I got this game specifically to bring me back in a small way to those days in his restaurant. The sting of his death has dulled since then, but I don't think I'll ever stop missing him.

Very fun to see where the series got its start, but it's absolutely NOT worth $5, especially when Bejeweled 2 and 3 are available on the same storefront. The only reason I'm recommending this is if you wait for a sale, you can get this game for (in most cases) a dollar, which is much more justified given how much there is to do.

Sorry this one kinda sucks. If you want to play Bejeweled get the other games in the series.

this is the greatest game of all time

banger

Fastest loading screen to gameplay transition.

The best video game ever produced by man.

Incredible Music

Pros
- I like the narrator

Cons
- It's repetitive. It's as simple as it gets and nothing seems to change between levels
- It's long and seems endless. Is there an endgame? Does it just go on forever unless you run out of moves? It seems like it.
- It's grindy
- No 32:9 option. Can't resize the window in window'd mode
- No achievements
- No cloud saves
- No Steam interface support so you can't even take snapshots
- There is seemingly no skill or strategy involved. Just make matches and hope you don't run out of moves

froze when i was trying to stream on a discord vc, i tried using task manager and it didnt work, i even had to use administrator command prompt, didnt work.

Banger, Absolute classic

I find the game too confusing

The best thing to be invented since sliced bread

GEMS!

The classic Bejeweled. It's nothing particularly special, and I still recommend getting Bejeweled 2 overall, but this one's still better than nothing. Sounds good and plays good. No cons but no real pros either.

Breathtaking graphics paired with innovative gameplay, truly game of the year

The OG itself.

Bejeweled is easily one of the most influential games of all time. It essentially gave birth to an entire genre of casual puzzle games, introducing a whole new audience to gaming in the early 2000s. There isn't much to say about the game itself, just two simple modes of play where you match gems to increase your score until you run out of moves (in Classic mode) or time (in Timed mode).

While Bejeweled 2 and 3 feature advancements in game mechanics and multiple new modes to learn and play, the original Bejeweled may still be worth revisiting for a short while. I'd recommend waiting for a sale.

suck it, gardenscapes

It's Bejeweled.
These games will always be fun to a fault, a boredom-killer or time-killer type game. This game does this job very well, its very fun and keeps you interested, and it kills boredom. Just buy these when they are like on super sale, if you plan to pick them up.

This is the first game that PopCap was created.

REVIEW #110
Bejeweled Deluxe
----------

When revisiting Bejeweled Deluxe to review it, I thought for sure that I'd give it a thumbs down. It's the most unpolished looking and sounding entry in the Bejeweled franchise, and yet it's currently priced exactly the same ($5 USD) as the other Bejeweled titles that are all not only aesthetically superior but are also more generous with features and play modes.

Then something unexpected happened when I booted Bejeweled Deluxe back up: I had fun. I had LOTS of fun.

I think that my enjoyment might have something to do with the combination of low fidelity presentation and match-3 gameplay in its simplest form. (Note that timed and classic game modes are the only play options available.) Whatever it is that keeps me coming back to Bejeweled Deluxe, I have to admit that it still holds up as a fun game today. I even found myself passing on my favorite title of the series, Bejeweled 3, just to spend a few minutes with this one.

My only major criticism is, again, the price. Being that there's way less features in Bejeweled Deluxe compared to the other entries in the series, I find it inexcusable that it's priced exactly the same as those other titles. Still, if you want a simple-yet-well constructed casual game to waste some time with, and this goes on sale, I do recommend picking it up.

A classic. And PopCap's oldest and first ever games. Originally first called Diamond Mine until they change it to Bejeweled, It started as a flash/shockwave game before it became a Deluxe game. So if you enjoy match 3 puzzle games this is the game for you.
