Pixel Puzzles 4k: Japan

I do not recommend this game , the original Pixel Puzzle was way more better than this in my opinion. It would be a great game if the pieces do not need a very accurate positioning and some pictures are using out of focus effect that is very disturbing ( you see just colored spots in 4 K resolution !)

This appears to be a next-generation Pixel Puzzles game. Next generation as the game’s graphics have been enhanced. Some puzzles are the same or similar to those from PP: Japan. Some are new. The biggest issue is that perhaps no all computers are ready to handle these images easily. Moving pieces for me was rather slow. As well as the pieces needing to be exactly in their correct position to lock-in. You still cannot combine pieces outside of their proper positions. Would recommend. Oh, and be sure to grab a fish and put it in the water pipe…

Schön entspannend. Dank dem Setting und der tollen Musik macht das Puzzeln richtig Spaß. Japan hat mir schon immer besonders gut gefallen. Man kann ein paar Dinge einstellen, wie schwer man es haben möchte. Die Errungenschaften kann man sicherlich zu 100% schaffen, bin aber gerade erst angefangen. Für den Euro im Sale ein super Gegenwert. Fazit: kaufen, kaufen, kaufen!

Pixel Puzzles 4k: Japan is a basic browser/Flash/mobile-app like jigsaw puzzle game. Solve various jigsaw puzzles made up from images that the "developer" stole off the Internet and used without crediting the actual creators, making this plagiarism, as well as an asset flip and a cash grab. An example of the "borrowed" uncredited/plagiarised artwork is [url=https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/image-apprentice-geisha-208335088]"Image Apprentice Geisha"[/url], stolen from Shutterstock. Sure, the image rights may allow the stock image to be used without credit, but claiming credit for the work of others, as is happening here, is unethical, and the creative and intellectual bankruptcy going on here is unacceptable. So what we have here is a basic jigsaw puzzle engine that's been skinned with a bunch of photos stolen off the internet and used without attribution. The icing on the cake is the "developer" here has copy + pasted + reskinned this same asset onto Steam [i]a lot[/i]. We must ask what value it presents to gamers to have the same jigsaw puzzle repeatedly dumped onto Steam with more and more stolen images polluting Steam. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard, even if you can look past the onerous misuse of someone else's intellectual property. There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. This looks and feels like a mobile app, but it doesn't seem to have made it to the app stores. It's unclear why this was put on Steam instead of the app stores it seems to have been designed for. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes this might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 4 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Pixel Puzzles 4k: Japan has the farcical price of around $5 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam.

It's nice to have classic shaped puzzle pieces rather than the types you can find in Pixel Puzzles Ultimate, It's also nice to have puzzles that aren't too big, 800/1000 piece puzzles are too big for digital puzzle games played on monitors making them more of a chore than an enjoyable experience.

The options and saving progress is all bugged. Normally I love Pixel Puzzles, but this one is a hard pass.

i absolutely love the game series, but this particular one has a hard time placing the pieces, be it because im not on a 4k screen, or otherwise should not really matter for its playability. simply a no for me because the smaller the pieces become, the more frustrating it becomes to place a piece while knowing full well it belongs there. literally cramping up my mouse hand.

对于不喜欢拼图的人来说，这游戏不推荐。推荐给成就党，拼图发烧友以及闲着没事干的人。 以往的把拼图堆到一个角落然后从上往下从左往右按顺序的方法在这游戏似乎并不管用。。。真的就是赛博徭役。 但是，这游戏拼图界面底部，设置键右边的那个按钮，点下去是能显示原图轮廓的，这一点目前只有这拼图看到。 总体还行。

Cannot recommend due to Esc closing the puzzle with NO confimation dialog. Closing the puzzle clears all loose pieces in the workspace and I was still in the process of placing edge pieces there, so I ended up with edge and and other pieces mixed again in the floating pool. The other Pixel Puzzle games do not close the game upon Esc. Unfortunately, the other Pixel Puzzles games now hove this same flaw. As a side note, without at least a very large monitor (4K is likely not necessary) the puzzles with the most pieces in this game are pretty difficult to work on due to difficulty seeing any detail on the tiny pieces in the sorting tray.
