Verdict
Candy Crush Saga and Rush both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Rush's written reviews are positive against 39% of Candy Crush Saga's. Candy Crush Saga's advantage is ratings volume (4M vs 52K) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
