Pixel Puzzles 2: Paintings Reviews

Its a Pixel Puzzles game. A themed collection of puzzles of varying sizes. Yes, there are more varied games in the series, but this one has a charm all its own. Funny how they included Dulle Griet op strooptocht in de hel (Mad Meg), a very.... picturesque painting. Definitely worth picking up, but catch it on sale if you're not 100% certain.

Not sure if it was intended but the background audio for this game gave it some creepy ghostly vibes.

Unused pieces drift around the edges of the playing area. Three different cuts in the three puzzles I've done so far, which is pleasing and unexpected. The constant motion of the spare pieces takes a little getting used to (well, five minutes at least). Reference image can be hidden, pieces may need rotating. A generous selection of attractive classic paintings. I have several jigsaw games, and will definitely look for more by this company.

sub-par puzzles. not a good selection of artwork, too messy and low quality images. the other pixel puzzles are better

As good as the other jigsaw puzzles from the pixel puzzle group. The only complaint I have is there is no base picture to work from. The only option provided is a ghost picture overlay which requires continually clicking the button to keep on the screen and feels a lot like cheating.

Fun jigsaw puzzle game - the fix on a position on the board type with some excellent art(american gothic), some not-very-good-art (weird 19th century battles) and some fun art (dogs playing poker). I was going through my unplayed backlog and found this and its a nice and chill game.

Pixel Puzzles 2: Paintings features a lovely set of 25 puzzles, all from 60 up to 350 pieces in size. If you're familiar with this series of games, you'll feel right at home, definitely a great way to kill a couple of hours! Although, you can hardly call that music.. Otherwise, of course I recommend it, it's a fun and relaxing time!

[h1]This is not a positive review. It's just not a negative one either. The store page doesn't lie about the content, so people who bought this knew exactly what they are getting and they did get it.[/h1] This time they didn't even bother with original content and instead put into the shredder some pre-existing paintings. And you know what they say about painting — you need to back away to truly appreciate the broad strokes. These jigsaws are very noisy and can be very contrasted in places. The artists often have different to you ideas for depictions of some things. And, well, the context. You gone think about the blue / gold dress. And then a couple of puzzles have straight flat cuts. Excuse me, what the hell? Some of these jigsaws are ones of the hardest i encountered. This can be a good challenge for people who want it. But also this game(-thing) is not exactly fitting for people who seek a series of tiny successes providing validations to the brain chemistry. It is what it is, but also you literally could take all these same paintings and put them into a freeware jigsaw cutter yourself. At least all the achievements are working, but there aren't any Steam trading cards.

While this jigsaw solving game is not too bad, there is no real reason for it to exist due the fact that Pixel Puzzles Ultimate is a thing and it is better than this game in every way. The main 2 things that I am missing that PPU has is: - the ability to see a small preview of the image you are putting together, - the option to turn off the pieces floating. There is 25 jigsaw puzzles to solve (+1 extra) between 60 and 350 pieces (average of 145 pieces per puzzle) so they are pretty small, but the lack of image makes it a bit more challenging. Some of the images work fine for jigsawing but in this pack there is quite a few that don't work as well and there is just way too much brown to look at. Also for some reason for me the "Complete Puzzle The Bird Catchers" achievement wouldn't unlock even after I done the puzzle twice. Looking at the percentage of people who got it makes me think most people have not encountered this issue (I may even be the only one) but it only more soured the experience for me. Works without any issues on Linux with Proton (7.0-6).

I find Pixel Puzzles a bit boring grind now. Its not bad. Whole series is just repetitive with a Menu game thrown in. This one is no different. I really cannot play jigsaws excedding 100 pieces. For that I appreciate Hentai puzzles lot more. I do not think jigsaws should take much time personally! However one good thing is if you pile up all pieces in one place on game board [tiring in 112-150-220-360 pieces], you can drag out pieces in correct order to place Left to Right 90% time. I found a great automation script guide in Pixel Puzzles 2: Birds Guides section [Auto Puzzler] that lets you auto stack pieces and auto place on board that works on all PP games havings ame format upto 350 pieces. You can check it there. It will work when you play in piece rotation off mode in Menu. https://steamcommunity.com/app/344230/guides/ I can only recommend this for: 1] Cheap buy at sale under half a dollar. 2] 100% Achievements with little effort. Achievements are easy just dragging - placing is a grind. [b]SADLY so far No Trading Cards![/b]
