The only thing stopping me from completely slating this is pity for the developer, who's probably just some guy making games in his free-time.

But seriously, those speedruns are complete ass. Especially when there's no undo button, it's super-easy to get soft-locked, and you can't move during an animation. Just an utterly crap feature for a puzzle game.

So unsurprisingly, less than 2% of players have completed it. I managed it, but I had a walkthrough next to me for the speedruns and they still took hours. One thing that did actually help was minimising the game to pause the timer.

A great free-to-play MMO back when I couldn't afford to play WoW. I used to spend hours bilging, sailing and carpenting as a playmobil pirate on here instead.

Sadly 90% of the players have now left. The ocean I played on is now a desert.

If you don't mind that and want to try and revive it, then PLEASE PLAY THIS GAME!!!

God I just love Ghost Control Inc.

More Jigsaw Puzzle games should have Online Co-Op. I feel like this is sorely lacking in the Jigsaw Puzzle game industry.

Fun idea but 90% of the pictures are either pixel-art from made-up video-games or random anime pin-up girls. I did like the painting-based ones, so hopefully later colouring games shake it up a bit more.

Good game to play absent-mindedly in meetings tho.

If it weren't for it's own sequel, this would still be the best puzzle-FPS ever made, and it still is one of the best puzzle-games out there. It's only real shortcoming is literally how short it is, although I did think some of the challenge courses were painful.

If you haven't played this yet, then just like never playing the original Mario or Sonic games, I will judge your gamer-cred harshly.

Hard as hell, but who could forget mycaruba?

Beautiful graphics and soundtrack, but really not much beyond that.

The world looks amazing but is much bigger than the game needs, and so feels very empty. Some games such as Journey can pull this off, but this game doesn't, in my opinion, as you'd expect these environments to have things like wild animals in them.

The gameplay is also fairly tedious and mostly consists of exploring these empty spaces, finding walking sticks and jumping on switches to unlock doors. Again, I feel like adding more stuff to the world would really help here.

I can't express enough how good-looking and atmospheric this game is, but it has all the depth of an interactive desktop background. I gave it a thumbs-up purely because it's not broken or problematic, but for this price it is very disappointing.

The story is pretty great but it would probably work better as a short story or a film. It is told purely through voice-over, and so doesn't really benefit much from being a videogame. The ending was quite poignant and well-crafted though.

The gameplay on the other hand feels like a early tech-demo for Annapurna's Journey, where you explore some admittedly quite beautiful landscapes, while the voice-over tries really hard to tie it into the almost unrelated story.

Overall, it's okay but only really starts to reach it's full potential at the very end. A hesitant Yes from me, but there are much better games also available for this price-point. Loved the soundtrack though.

Fun, but suffers from lack of players in random lobbies. The game also doesn't seem to respond at all to tapping on things when using a drawing tablet. Apparently there's a work-around, but that is a really bad bug for a drawing game.

Overall feels like a Gartic phone mini-game rather than a full-game in it's own right. Can't recommend until it has been updated a few more times.

Really fun if you can get some people to play with you in a Private Lobby! The Random Lobbies are really lacking though as there just aren't enough players. I appreciate that the game is in Early Access, but there just isn't much to do yet in general. However, the content that is there is pretty good!

I would rather play the 3 Single-Player Kuukiyomi games before this one, simply because of the above issues, but I will definitely give it another try after a few updates.
