Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop is a great mobile version of a classic series
04.04.2024 - 14:13 / digitaltrends.com / Giovanni Colantonio
Last year, Sega revealed a newfound commitment to its wide catalog of franchises. In December, it announced that several series would get the revival treatment, including long-dormant franchises like Crazy Taxi. We’d even get a tease at that IP comeback with three new Samba de Amigo games, which were released across Nintendo Switch, VR, and mobile.
While there was a long stretch where it felt like Sega was moving past its classic games, we’re at the onset of a retro renaissance. And judging by Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop, Sega isn’t taking that opportunity for granted. Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop is a new version of the classic match-four puzzler that’s available now exclusively on Apple Arcade. It’s the first Puyo Puyo game in four years and it comes loaded with enough content to fill that gap. It doesn’t do much to meaningfully shake up the series’ winning formula, but it doesn’t need to. Sega instead puts its effort into making this version of Puyo Puyo the best it can be, which is something all of the company’s upcoming revivals should strive for.
Popping Puyos
Rather than leaning on a big central gimmick, like Puyo Puyo Tetris does, Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop is a more straightforward version of the classic puzzle game. Players drop colorful goo balls into a well and match four of the same color to clear them. Combos are as key as ever, as Puyo Puyo is about staying three steps ahead of the board to aim for big chain reactions. That playstyle has always made it less newcomer-friendly than something like Tetris, but Puzzle Pop is more committed than ever to onboarding new players.

It features a whopping 50 tutorials, which cover everything from the basics to expert combo planning. It’s perhaps the best introduction to the series Sega’s ever made. It helps that it’s easy to control on a touchscreen too. I simply need to drag a finger on the left of the screen to move a falling piece and tap on the right side to rotate it. While it can be a little difficult to quickly drop pieces or move them into tricky spots with precision, it’s as elegant as it needs to be.
What really stands out, though, is just how much content Sega packs into an unassuming mobile package. That starts with a meaty single-player campaign that’s as robust as what we saw in last year’s Samba de Amigo: Party-to-Go. I move through a light, but dialogue-heavy story featuring a large handful of the series’ characters. Each one gets their own set of missions filled with battles (each of which has its own set of challenges to chase),
