## Review summary

Many reviews praise Mahjong by Microsoft for its relaxing, engaging gameplay and wide puzzle variety. However, users frequently report intrusive ads and reliability issues with content updates and progress, including packs not showing and occasional resets. A few players note desires for replay options or more customizable hints. Overall, the game is enjoyable, but ad and update stability concerns dilute the experience for some players.

### Pros

- Engaging, fun, and relaxing Mahjong with many puzzles and options.
- Easy to learn and easy on the eyes; calming, therapeutic gameplay.
- Rich puzzle variety and long-term engagement (great puzzles; played for years).
- Some users report minimal or no ads, improving the experience.

### Cons

- Ad-heavy experience with full-screen, interruptive ads that are hard to close.
- Content/update reliability problems: packs download but don’t show, repeated prompts to download, and pack progress that goes missing.
- Progress can reset or be lost (e.g., reaching a level then losing it).
