Bejeweled® 3

I think I've played this enough now that I feel comfortable leaving a review. I rarely play anything other than Diamond Mine mode, which is locked behind the Quest mode. I am aware that there are probably many others with much higher scores than me.

But when life is stressful and work is a word Steam won't let me say, this is what I come to to relax: a fifteen-year-old puzzle game that probably didn't spawn the match-3 category, but certainly popularized it. Reviews are still this positive for a reason. Spend the $5 and get it. Your sanity will thank you.

Garbage. The game always works against you. Often leaving you scrambling for 60 or 90 seconds without being able to make a move or only being able to make a move in the upper corner of the screen.

my whole life is nothing but gems. every day i wake up and all i can do is merge these gems. i open up this game, play the poker mode, and gamble all my life earnings away. i'm living in a cardboard box because of this game. thanks, popcap

I've played this game off and on for many year's. You can play it as a simple game or you can make the game more challenging. Enjoy...

Still a classic and the gameplay is top notch... or would be, but the pc version shows popups every 3 seconds to explain the special gems that you create by matching more than 3 gems. The popup does not go away until clicked and covers about a quarter of the board.

As this is an old game, it will never be fixed.

A classic. Runs amazing on the Steam Deck OLED with the touch screen. Wouldn't recommend on the Steam Deck LCD because the touch screen isn't as responsive.

I mean come on, Bejeweled 3 is an all-time classic "Match 3" game and the game modes are all very fun and enjoyable! Probably the greatest Match 3 to ever be made! The downside is as an achievement enjoyer, a lot of them are incredible luck-based, especially the platinum achievements for the specific game modes like Ice Storm, Poker, and Butterflies...personally in my eyes, super luck based achievements are complete garbage so I wasn't happy to see them there. Otherwise, if you don't care about achievements, then this is a fantastic game!

It's the OG for a reason, 8/10

I really like it! It has some annoying modes but there is always zen mode for healing !!! xd

I am mildly addicted to the poker mode.

It's just a way better and less greedier version of Candy Crush :D

who doesnt love some bejeweled? timed modes get my blood pumping

Challenging high score game! Time sensitive! Beat THE CLOCK. Strategy !

Bejeweled 3 is awesome and relaxing i play Bejeweled Twist ,But it won't start anymore bummer.

im gonna get every achievement or die trying

I went in to this game kinda ticked off and came out relaxed and happy. This game is worth every penny.

I'm realizing that there is a 'mind' behind the game, that it exhibits differing forms of play and [for this octogenerian] keeps me wondering how to cope.

Judging by how many negative reviews I've read about people being angry at the difficulty of some of the upper tier achievements, I'm going to preface this by saying if you go into playing Bejeweled 3 with the intent to play for fun and maybe hunt the achievements if you're bored, you'll probably have a blast. If you're a hardcore completionist for achievements I have no doubt you'll get a lot of frustration.

I had very little experience with this series other than playing the original for a little bit I think back on Xbox. I've always been a fan of Match 3 games and Tetris so I figured I'd give another puzzle game a shot. I'm really glad I did! Beside the classic mode there's several other interesting gameplay variants that could keep you entertained for hours and hours, match poker, rescue the butterflies, shatter ice columns, etc. The game is pretty close to the definition of "simple to grasp but difficult to master", and definitely has an addictive quality, watching gems explode as you set up various combo matches of 4 and 5 gems. Get it on sale for a dollar and I fail to see how you could be disappointed, if you enjoy other puzzle games in the vein of Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords and Gems of War you'll probably end up having a blast with this since there is no other tedious elements keeping you from getting to the meat of the game solving puzzles!

I will point out that on my Windows 11 laptop I had some issues getting the game to work in fullscreen, my solution? I'm just playing it in a window, I wish they could make it work correctly out of the box, as far as I can tell there are solutions to fix the resolution issue, and it didn't affect my enjoyment of the game.

It keeps screwing up my dual monitor setup.

finally, a good game.

This game made my boyfriend mess up his daily routine. He was Bejeweled, and so was I. There's nothing left. Only jewels.

I saw triplets sit on a bench and disappear

Got all badges and a 2,800,000 score on poker mode-whichi is my favorite-as my PR. I transferred my profile from Android device to continue on PC. Fun game

Lightning and Ice Storm mode is the closest any match-3 game comes to being an action game.

Played for 100 hours, started booting it up, BSOD'd my computer, lost all my saves and had to start over. If this had happened for any other game, I'd have been devastated. Lucky for me, having to start a new Bejeweled file is a delight. It spawned a million imitators for a reason.

Getting flushes in this game is completely impossible for me as well as 15x Combo in the Ice storm,
Im Bad.
So much grind and so many hours put into just trying to get Flushes.
Stupid.
Save your money even when its on sale.

The poker gamemode gave me a crippling gambling addiction

Greatest game of all time, no notes

Delicious match-3 nostalgiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Even if you don't like match-3 games, I still recommend it, and that's not just my nostalgia bias talking.
It's genuinely really enjoyable, and there's something about the sound design that's just MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM GOOD SHET, 10 OUTTA 10, AND IT'S ONLY 5 'MURICA DOLLARS AND A FEW CENTS AFTER THE TAX. I genuinely believe you are doing yourself a disservice by not getting this game.

Very fun puzzle game holds up really well

The Bejeweled Series is the OG of the OG match-3 games before the time of microtransactions and predatory practices.

A classic puzzle game to pass the time.

The Zen mode is so goated for casual plays. I like to boot it up while i drink my morning coffee before i head to work. It saves my progress so i can walk away from the computer or even close it down and start where i left off.

Got this in a bundle and it's fun however it's overpriced. I recommend getting this if it's on sale or in a cheap bundle.

Absolutely one of the best puzzle games ever devised. Stands the test of time.

From other console and handheld version i tried. PC version are the best at displaying HW Accelerated Effect. Very mesmerizing

I have been playing this game for as long as I can remember. I always come back. Addicted to another level.

I’m not a huge fan of match-3 games, but this one, despite looking pretty mid, is actually quite decent thanks to a bunch of original game modes.

So many memories of playing this on the DS, now i can play it at a super high resolution with even better sound quality!

Also, this is the best puzzle game ever made and no one can convince me otherwise

This style of game is simplistic, but this game is the best of its kind. Repetitive mobile puzzle game except there's many different fun modes to play and peak music.

It is a fun game and a good way to pass some time.

Unfortunately I game on multiple devices and there's no synchronized saves which is a dealbreaker.

10/10 actually addicting. hits just as hard as it did when i was a kid.

The best. Works well on touchscreen devices too, however seems picky on some Intel UHD systems, like the UHD 620, won't go into fullscreen. Yet it'll go into fullscreen on an old Intel Atom Z3770 tablet.

Noooo..I'm not playing Candy Crush, I'm playing Bejeweled 3 AND THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!!111!1

We love. It never get old. I am over and over get high score.

simple connect 3 type game. good game modes. better then the slop on app store.

This, Zuma Deluxe or Plants vs Zombies after a day at school used to hit hard 10 years ago

A welcome addition to the PopCap games bundle, with PvZ and some others. Honestly though, 90% of my playtime is on Lightning mode. I used to play Bejeweled Blitz on Facebook in the early 2010's, and Lightning mode is like a better version. Cheers!

this game is literally a gem, so fun to play and chill. I used to play a lot on my phone and damn, i really does had a great time playing it.
just do yourself a favor and buy this game, its awesome

Ooh, boy. What do I say about this one?

It's...a bit much. If you liked Bejeweled 2 or even Bejeweled Classic, you'll probably be pretty disappointed with this game. It drops the spacey sci-fi feel for a more fantastical feel, which I personally dislike--every other match 3 game is fantasy-themed, and the sci-fi part was something I really liked about Bejeweled 2.

It's also a lot less of a relaxing kind of game--the gamemodes now are a little more app-gamey, and though I like them plenty enough for what they are, I'm just not gripped into them as much as the standard Bejeweled format. The soundtrack also pales in comparison to that of its predecessors and overall I kind of just think I don't like looking at it or listening to it as much as I do Bejeweled 2.

You'll probably just end up playing Poker over and over and that's all you'll need the game for, so if you're looking for a relaxing Match 3 with endless gameplay, this isn't for you.

I had no idea match-3 poker was a thing, but now it's one of my favorite things ever.
