Gossip Harbor®: Merge & Story 12+

It’s really fun

So it’s a really good game and pretty similar to the ads. So there is the divorced mother and the daughter renovating their home/restaurant with merging things to make orders. With that there is a storyline that’s pretty interesting. A lot of people were like how it’s not like the ads but I thought about it and while it’s not exactly like the ads it’s really similar and has a similar concept. They are right about the no ads part. And it other games it’s nearly impossible to get more energy when it’s empty but you get energy as you level up and you can merge energy to refill all your energy. And you can watch a ad for 15 energy. You can also pay 10 gems for full energy again. And my favorite part. GEMS ARE EASY TO GET. I don’t have to worry about using up all my gems because I can just merge to get more! Like I literally get 10 gems daily and that’s how good it is. I’ve downloaded so many games similar to this but I haven’t found one that lets you get energy and gems so easily. And you have probably seen the ad that says you get a starter bonus? Yeah but it’s for every level!!!!!! Can you believe it lol. So anyway you should definitely give this game a try and write a review because this game is honestly so underrated.

Game is pretty great except..

Except for when they have the card collection event because their algorithm doesn’t work correctly. They keep trying to explain it to me as if I don’t understand even though I provide them with plenty of proof to show that it’s consuming 101 stars EVEN though I have enough cards with stars to make it an even 100 stars to receive a gift. It’s frustrating when you have enough to get 3 gifts yet you can’t because of this issue. I wish I could provide screenshots to show everyone EXACTLY what I mean. The story also started off great but as you progress further and further the attention to detail really falls off. Constant grammar issues as well as missing context for certain scenes. But don’t worry they just want you to tell them exactly what’s wrong with it instead of doing their job and fixing/ figuring it out themselves, even though you provide them with screen shots of these issues. Where is the quality assurance with this game?? Really frustrated with this because it’s a bunch of little things that pile up over time. I just want them to actually care about the app and show it in their work and caring for the consumers who play this game by providing bug fixes instead of adding a new theme. Send out a gift even to all players who’ve been playing this game as a way of saying sorry about this bug instead of gaslighting their clients into thinking they don’t know how to add numbers together.

Pure Honesty

So obviously this game isn’t at all like what the adds say, even the previews are misleading until the last three or so. With that being said, I downloaded it under the impression the game was what was being shown in the adds, and to my frustration, it clearly wasn’t. However it is still a good game, I came for one game and ended up staying for another. It’s pretty fun and i’ve had this game for a while now. The plot so far is good, it has good story building so far, however there are some downsides again. One, you won’t really excel at this game unless you give in and pay up, I have yet to spend money but if you don’t you just spend a lot of time waiting, whether it be for more energy or a lot of other stuff. Second, whenever it has those events for a themed space, it’s really unfair how much time they give you, especially for those that can’t spend money on this game. You can only really complete it if you spend every waking hour playing it AND spend money on it. And worst of all, the time frame is the only chance you get, there’s no coming back to it or nothing so you’re just left with a half empty done lot because you either A. didn’t have enough time and or B. have enough money. I’m still salty about being misled and all of the obvious money grabs but I still play it for now, this review was to provide some insight for everyone else. ☺️
