Panqueca & Paçoca: A Friendship Jigsaw

Panqueca & Paçoca: A Friendship Jigsaw

This is a feel good chill jigsaw puzzle game. There is a thin story with each puzzle. No timers, Each puzzle has three difficulty levels 81, 196 and 361 pieces. the largest size can be done in around 2-3 hours. Hints are available but totally unnecessary.

The only complaint i had is a lack of option to separate the edges, other than that it was a good relaxing time waster. Highly recommended.

This is a very relaxing and peaceful game with a sweet story. The story is told in five parts, each one illustrated with a charming hand-drawn style picture that make up the game’s puzzle content. The related part of the story appears after you complete the puzzle.

Each puzzle comes in 3 size versions which also provides players with 3 levels of challenge. Puzzle enthusiasts will enjoy all of them. There are no time limits and hints are available if you get stuck.

The 16 achievements can all be earned in a single play-through. 15 are earned when you complete each of the puzzles in all 3 sizes. The last one is earned when you complete all five puzzles once and get to read the whole storyline.

Finally after a long road this game saw the light of day and I was more than eager to put hands on it.

Despite the number of hours clocked in I have not finished it as I actually been redoing the game a few times to measure replayability as well as how better/worse I could do, but from what I experienced so far, I’m holding my vote positive.

It is however not a game without its flaws, if things that can be fixed to an extend, so lets break it down.

The definitely good:

  • Graphics/Artstyle

I am utterly in love with the detailed artwork pieces that are shown all over the game, and I feel that everything else helps build up a style that’s very uniform across the board and that’s even including the 3D models used for the characters during intermission/exploration. There’s certainly artistic liberty in some departments namely the mechanical designs, but I was already expecting some of the silliness coming in and I was not looking for much else here, so there’s definitely plenty of value.

Right. Where to begin with this one. Be warned, this is less an objective review and more a personal retrospective, and there will be prologue spoilers. I don’t usually “review” games and am only giving this one attention as I feel it has the makings of a sleeper hit that hardcore fans will be trying to convince people to play. Like its predecessors, it hit shelves with absolutely no fanfare. Just seeing how few reviews games like this one gets shows how criminally underrated these hidden gems are.

Very cool how the game’s music combines with the moving art in the game, it gave a really nice feel to the game, but the coolest thing for me is the story behind it, it’s really fun to see the adventure unfold between these two characters. Great game and great replayability factor, as there are different difficulty levels for any type of player you are.

It’s nice to play a game that doesn’t hand everything to you on a plate. In an age of ultra-high budget productions I’m reminded that sometimes simplicity can produce a compelling game. Some talented individuals with a story to tell, maybe a few puzzles and jump scares along the way make a surprisingly compelling game. Because of the whole horror retro vibe of the game this is definitely one to play with headphones. I have to admit that I took a while to complete this, probably because I’m not that great at puzzle games. I have to admit there were periods of frustration when I was stuck on a few puzzles but to me that makes it all the sweeter when you finally figure it out. Don’t get me wrong, the game isn’t without its flaws. The low-res aesthetic certainly won’t appeal to everyone. Sometimes it feels like the difficulty of the puzzles can suddenly jump without much of a ramp up to them. I think an optional hint mode as an option within each puzzle could help. Checkpoints need to be more evenly spaced as I had to play for a good 30 minutes before I hit my first one. For what the game is, when it was floated on the steam store I thought it was a little expensive. But hey what are Steam sales for! All in all this game is a great reminder that you don’t necessarily need a multi-million pound budget and photo realistic graphics to make a compelling story that’s enjoyable (if a little scary) to play through. Now I just need to complete play throughs with all the other characters XD.

Yes, I’m aware of the ALL CAPS game this title is similar to.

Are there games out there like Rogue?

Yes, a lot. That is why “Rogue-like” is now a genre.

Am I going to make a federal case out of inspiration?

No, no I am not.

What I will do is say that this game is awesome. It sets up its own unsettling folklore-themed flavor, presented in classic retro-PC style, with some pretty clever puzzles. There are multiple characters, and multiple endings depending on what you do and/or the order you do things in.

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey

Dance of Death: Du Lac & Fey

First of all, it’s fair to say that I bought and started the game a few weeks after main launch, so all the critical patches and fixes were already implemented. Played it through twice and encountered no bugs or glitches both times, except for one where the game crashes right before rolling credits, apparently only happening on W7 64 bit… Eh, nothing game-breaking. Later updates also added more interactive points and SEVERAL additional achievements, so I would say by now it’s pretty polished.

I now arrived at about the middle of the game and I will certainly recommend it, but…

It is a game which enchants you by its really interesting and unusual setting and a great art style. I can think of no other game (point and click adventure - like ) where you play such a stylish hero or rather pair of heroes. The dynamics between the human character and his animal compagnion is original and fun. The dog Fey talks to animals and uses her nose while du Lac interacts with humans and you can change between them almost any time, this is cool. Although -at least until now- this dynmaics is not living up to its potential.
