Our Expert Score
Finally, a proper, premium Puyo Puyo experience on mobile! Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop is a brilliant addition to the Apple Arcade library. For years, mobile puzzle games have been dominated by microtransaction-heavy match-3s, so having a skill-based, competitive puzzler like this is fantastic. The touch controls are surprisingly responsive and customizable, but syncing up a controller makes it feel like you're playing a mainline console release. The presentation is crisp, vibrant, and the characters are full of personality.
The real star of the show here is the multiplayer. The matchmaking has been pretty smooth, and going head-to-head with someone, trying to build a massive 7-chain combo before they drop a mountain of garbage on you, is as thrilling as ever. Even if you're not a competitive player, the story mode offers plenty of content to keep you busy while teaching you the ropes. It's a stellar puzzle game with genuine depth.

Tips & Walkthrough
Don't just clear Puyos as soon as they drop. Learn the 'Stairs' or 'Sandwich' building methods. By staggering your colors, you can set up a single drop that triggers two, three, or even four consecutive clears, maximizing your score.
Gameplays
In competitive modes, every Puyo you pop sends garbage to your opponent's screen. The larger your chain, the more garbage you send. Keep an eye on your opponent's board to know when to unleash your combo or hold back for defense.
