  I had been searching for a great mahjong solitaire game for years, literally. Little did I know that one of the best ones I would ever play was sitting comfortably in my game library. Legendary Mahjong is awesome. It's awesome in how it can be both extremely casual and extremely challenging at the same time. And I can't get enough of it! Legendary Mahjong has 6 different game modes to play through, each with their own unique set of rules. The first is your standard mahjong solitaire. Nothing really special there. But the "Belle of the Ball" is definitely Slide Mode. Now this mode is so damn fun that I wish it was a game all itself. I've read other reviewers struggling with it because it IS difficult, but all that is needed to clear these boards is a bit of strategy and patience. This mode has you sliding the tiles horizontally or vertically to match them; the catch is that the tiles won't stop unless they hit something, usually a wall or another tile. Many of these boards are set up in ways that risk you sliding tiles into pits trapping them there. Others have obstacles that make it difficult for the two tiles you're trying to match to meet up. But none of them are impossible. They simply take some thought. And that's what I love so much about this mode. I need more of it. MORE OF IT! You hear me?!?! https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1785265012 Okay, okay, now that I'm done gushing about Slide Mode, the other modes are pretty fun too. Triple Mode has you matching 3 tiles at a time instead of 2. Rivers Mode requires a line to be drawn between your matches (no more than 2 bends, though). This is my second favorite mode in the game for how casual and relaxing it is. Numbers Mode has you doing some simple arithmetic by matching numbered tiles that add up to a given sum. And Match Mode has you matching individual tiles to a set of 4 random ones. This is my least favorite mode simply because it's not very engaging. But you can't win'em all. Now, my only real gripe is that there is a bug where sometimes the game will tell you there's a match on the board, but there's no actual match. This is easily remedied by shuffling (assuming you have enough points to), but it's still annoying. I noticed it happening most often in Match and Triple Mode, but it periodically happens in the other modes too. It's not the end of the world, just an annoyance I could do without. I've also seen other people complaining about a lack of Vsync, which may cause your GPU to overheat. I noticed that my card does run a bit hot while playing this, but nothing that risks frying it out. It's something to keep in mind if your graphics card tends to run on the hotter side, though. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1785267666 Bottom line, for 7 bucks (or less, if you grab it on sale), you really can't go wrong with this gem. Not only do all the different game modes make this one of the most unique and enjoyable mahjong games I've ever played, the number of levels to work through is insane. You're likely to get upwards of 50 hours of playtime out of it if you're intent on clearing everything for that sweet sweet 100% achievement score. So, if you're a mahjong solitaire fan like I am, do yourself a favor and pick up this baby. I guarantee, you won't regret it.

  desperately needs vsync but ok otherwise. negative for lack of vsync. it will fry your card if you don't limit it on your own.

  The Slide mode temple is impossible, which the devs knew since they conveniently removed the hint button in the one temple where players would actually use it.

  It is ok as a Mahjong game. However, it [b]lacks vsync and Steam cloud[/b], and I think both are needed nowadays.
