The portable videogame version of Scrabble doesn't really offer a whole lot that you can't just get from the board game, except that being able to play it on the road is a very nice thing as you don't need to deal with wooden tiles. The single-player portion leaves a lot to be desired thanks to the shady AI, though it's still good practice. Multiplayer can be a lot of fun though, and that's really the whole point anyway.

Word Golf: Fairway Clash offers a unique mix of Scrabble and golf. It is casual enough to be enjoyable, and the soothing background music is a plus.
Overall, Scrabble is well polished and offers a good challenge for players of all levels. The online play is great if you can find people to play against. If not, the AI players will give you a good run for your money. The price tag is a reasonable $15 and is worth picking up if you're a fan of the game.
Drew Leachman writes: We all know those classic board games like Clue, Monopoly, Sorry!, and Candy Land. There was always that one board game that required players to use their brains a bit more than just rolling die and moving a piece. Everyone knows what game I’m talking about. That’s right, the word game Scrabble. Part of the Hasbro family of games, Ubisoft has brought the classic board game to the PS4.
