This episode aims to dissect one of the most infamous mobile games of all time, Candy Crush Saga, and offers a brutally honest perspective on its features, pros, and cons.
The episode opens with a humorous take on the game’s story, or lack thereof, and introduces the viewers to the colorful cast of characters in the game. The narrator points out how the game is essentially a match-three puzzle game that has been repackaged several times to keep players engaged. The series takes a jocular tone and points out how there is no actual ‘saga’ to the game, making it a tad bit too ridiculous.
The following segment is all about the gameplay mechanics in Candy Crush Saga. The narrator does not hold back in pointing out how the game can be incredibly frustrating, especially when it comes to tricky levels, as each attempt requires time and lives. The game offers the players various tools and items to better their chances, but at an added cost. The narrator quips how the game is a master of microtransactions and finds new ways to extract money from its players.
Next up is a segment about the graphics and audio in Candy Crush Saga. The show pokes fun at the game's vibrant and candy-coated visuals, calling it "a nightmare for people with diabetes."

There's a discussion about how social media integration helps the game gain more traction and acts as a platform for competition among acquaintances. The game’s team component is also highlighted, where one can join or create a team to compete with other teams in weekly tournaments.
The final installment of the episode is an unbiased round-up of the game that encapsulates the game's pros and cons. The show highlights the game's positive aspects such as its easy-to-learn gameplay and social-media-linked community. The downside to the game, according to Honest Game Trailers, is how it can get repetitive and frustrating with time.
