PixelJunk™ Eden 2

Takes a bit to get used to, but it's Eden just as cool as you remember it - a bit more fun and dynamic with the different game modes.

[h1]Designed for small screens[/h1] I've been a huge fan of [b]Q Games[/b] and their [b]Pixel Junk[/b] series for as long as they've been around. Hell, I even bought my first console (Playstation 3) for a single reason - to play [i]Pixel Junk Eden[/i] on it. I loved its momentum-based gameplay and wild audio-visual world of Bayion's art. I'm not gonna lie - I absolutely hated Eden 2 at first. The movement feels more stiff. The flow is gone. The visuals are overwhelmingly distracting. The time-and-bonus based gameplay is... game'y instead of zen-like. Worst of all, some of the visual effects are just too much when played on a large monitor or an OLED TV. [h2]Then I tried it on my Steam Deck[/h2] ...and suddenly it all made sense. [b]Eden 2[/b] was originally a Nintendo Switch exclusive. As such, all the changes were made with a handheld experience in mind. Shorter levels/sessions. Simplified controls for small-resolution, 6-7inch displays. Different incentives to keep one going - etc. It all makes sense in the context of portable play. [b]I absolutely love this game - on a Steam Deck, but would not recommend it, if you plan to play it on a big screen.[/b]
