Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyApr 20264.5/5 starsIt might not be the “level up” on Scrabble, I imagine the developers went into the project aiming to make, but they certainly have come up with something that is perfect to pair up with a coffee on a Sunday morning. And I do love my Sunday morning coffee games.

GameSpewKim SnaithApr 20269/10Who knew that combining Scrabble with Balatro would be so compelling? It's a crossover that works so well, and if you're a word game fan, consider Beyond Words an absolute must-play.

Jump Dash RollRob KershawApr 20266/10A clever idea let down by inconsistent design and a punishing difficulty curve, Beyond Words struggles to capture the "one more go" magic it so clearly aims for.

ImpulsegamerApr 20263.4/5If it's on special, it's not bad for a quick pick up and play a round or two… but the random nature of the power cards and boosts and the ludicrously steep starting point for some levels, either via score or play space… means it can get frustrating quickly. I'm pretty near completing it and am quite sure I could with perseverance and more focused strategy… I've just lost all interest in doing so. If you like Balatro and think it would be interesting in a Scrabble setting, then I'd say grab a copy!
