Puzzle Quest 2 (PC, 2010)

What's more enjoyable than matching gems? Well, a lot, but it's still high on my list. There are a million variations of this simple gaming idea. You have a board and you try to match similar colored gems.

In "Puzzle Quest 2", we have a RPG twist to it. You first choose a character class and you start doing quests and fighting monsters. Each fight is a game of matching gems with your computer opponent. It is turn based and you have different colored gems to match. If you match special Skull gems, you attack your opponent and reduce their health. Colored gems give you mana which you can then use to cast different spells. As you win more battles and get more experience, you get to level up, get more spells, and power up your attributes. It’s a simple idea that is ridiculously addictive as all gem matching games are, but when you can power-up, then it gets even more addictive!
