Is Puyo Puyo still worth playing in 2026?

A Sonic skin of the Puyo Puyo puzzle, Mean Bean Machine has Dr Robotnik drop coloured beans you group by four to trigger devastating chains against the opponent. The deep, snappy system gives a tense and fiercely addictive versus, perfectly carried over to Game Gear. The humorous skin and immediate accessibility hide a real combo demand. For a fan of competitive puzzling or of the Sonic world, the title keeps an intact and still exhilarating effectiveness.
