User Reviews

Most reviews praise Matching Story as fun, relaxing, and visually appealing with varied phases. However, players regularly criticize heavy monetization, difficult progression, sparse rewards, and a lack of the advertised storyline. Several note that the game feels derivative and that chests and power-ups are insufficient, turning into a pay-to-win experience for many.

Pros

Fun and addictive gameplay that is entertaining and not boring
Relaxing, soothing experience
Beautiful graphics
Different phases / varied activities keep the game interesting
Merging/puzzle mechanic adds variety

Cons

Pay-to-win feel and expensive to progress; players report spending money to advance
Levels become very hard and progression and chest rewards are frustrating
Storyline and promised characters (mother/daughter) rarely appear; ads don't match the game
The game is perceived as derivative / a copy of other popular games

I like the matching part of the game but the merge part can leave - it’s either a time waste or a money waste. The screen itself has too much going on. I will try it for a little longer but I’m thinking I will be deleting this game.
