Puzzling Places - 3D Jigsaw Sim

Best VR game ever.

I have bought the bought the currently released DLC but haven't played it yet. I have only played VR and classic mode in the base game and have more than 40 hours in the game. I expect to break 100+ hours before I complete the currently released DLC. I would recommend anyone with VR get the base game just because I think it is a perfect VR game. I don't recommend getting any DLC until you have played enough of the base game to know if this is your style of game. I like more puzzle style VR games and I also do physical puzzles so this game is perfectly targeted at me. Also the interactions in VR are perfect.

Would like to see puzzles of Colombia south America. And I will buy anything with animations.. like cars and people walking thnx a lot..

Fun, chill 3D jigsaw puzzle game, remind me a lot of the 3D puzzles of various buildings I used to build as a kid. Works great in VR on Linux, using Knuckles controllers, BSB2e, & Monado. I play the largest piece count versions of the puzzles w/ hint images disabled for maximum playtime, there's 18 puzzles in the base game and a 400 piece one takes me somewhere between 2-4 hours over a day or two. ~35hrs in, haven't done all the ones in the base game, but once I do I'm gonna grab all the DLC.

Instead of wasting your money on a Steam Machine....Buy This....Are you listening Steam....

*note that this only covers the VR version* It's an effing puzzle game the kind of crap you skip even during Steam sales when they're 49 Cents the kind of crap you wouldn't even take for free the kind of crap that, at best, you gift your friends as a joke when they already have Bad Rats the kind of crap that pisses you off when you find it in your Kinder Surprise egg [h1][b]SO WHY THE HECK DO I ALREADY HAVE OVER 70 HOURS IN THIS?![/b][/h1] Because this right here is pretty much the final boss of casual VR games. Kicking back, slapping parts together, watching the small animations and having ambient sounds play depending on what parts you finished or currently working on is INSANELY relaxing, satisfying and freaking addictive. The sound design, general graphics and UI are very well done and never get intrusive, in your way or obnoxious with annoying music, countless particle effects, trippy backgrounds or a Bonzi Buddy-tier mascot that yells "THAT PIECE THERE NEEDS A PARTNER :D" at you - if the screen gets messy and cluttered it's mostly your own dang fault. Controls are pretty good most of the time but occasionally the hit detection can be a bit iffy - some times it feels like you have to put the pieces as close together as possible, other times it can be quite generous to the point where you wonder how the parts even went together. The model quality is generally alright although some of the puzzles, especially the cityscapes, could use some cleanup. Quite a bunch of streets and urban canyons on them for example aren't rendered properly due to the way those 3D satellite models work and end up as a bit of a mess. (just check out Google Earth for examples) Probably the biggest issue for most, however, will be the price since it's one of those "cheap base game - a gazillion DLCs" deals. One could argue that from a time-per-buck standpoint it's actually pretty reasonable given that you can spend like 1.5-2 hours per puzzle on the higher piece counts and even more once you get into the 1000 piece territory but we're already reaching 200 bucks for everything at the time of this review so I hope you don't have some severe case of FOMO. (and hey, only 700something Montly Packs to go until we reach Train Simulator Classic levels...) However, the devs have started to implement a Steam workshop which remedies this quite a bit and already features tons of free models which will keep you busy but so far the parts count is limited to 100.

A wonderful 3-dimensional jigsaw puzzle. Currently there are 18 puzzles with 2 modes and various possible puzzle counts. The achievements give you goals, making a reason to replay the puzzles.
