Is Puyo Puyoon - Car-kun to Issho still worth playing in 2026?
A variant of Compile's puzzle, Puyo Puyoon extends the principle of matching colourful blobs to pop in chains, with new characters and a vivid cartoon dressing. The mechanic stays as accessible as it is addictive, and the versus mode keeps all its tension. The measured evolution from neighbouring entries and the Japan exclusivity limit the novelty and access. An effective competitive puzzle to recommend for fans of the Puyo Puyo saga and of snappy two player thinking.
