It seems somebody at Ocean Media has decided that one Mahjong release wasn't enough for a single day. Hot on the heels of Eco Mahjong comes Mahjongus: Mystery of Fortescue, another tile-matching adventure from publisher Ocean Media and developer JetDogs Studios.
There aren't too many Mahjong games that come with a story. You're usually presented with a stack of tiles, asked to match pairs, and left to quietly work your way through dozens of puzzles. Eco Mahjong takes a slightly different approach.
Considering Mahjong - Xbox Series X|S low-balls its efforts, creating a game that’s absolutely devoid of ambition, it’s a wonder that it still gets so much wrong.
Your appreciation of Mahjong Adventure DX on the Xbox will depend on two labels that should have been slapped on the box art: ‘not actually an adventure’ and ‘turns into a memory game halfway through’. In our case, the latter was a dealbreaker: it felt like going for a light stroll but being forced to stop and do push-ups. You come to Mahjong for relaxation, not mental gymnastics.
Ocean Media has become one of the most consistent publishers when it comes to bringing casual PC-style experiences onto Xbox consoles, and today’s four games continues that trend nicely.
There’s something wonderfully nostalgic about firing up a simple match-3 puzzler, zoning out for a few minutes, and somehow losing an entire evening in the process. That’s exactly the kind of vibe Microsoft Jewel brings - and now it has quietly landed on the Xbox Store.
