Piece by Piece (Gamkat)

Is incredibly broken. Frequently you'll have pieces of items that just refuse to go into their slot and you have to back out of the crafting bit fully and go back to the item, the rock paper scissors game is kinda weird as the opponents all have pre-set moves and seem to have a pattern? but there's not enough moves to properly learn most of it so it's mostly random, shop customisation menu movement is buggy, watering can frequently ends up getting stuck and playing the audio constantly until you either water again or go inside the shop, try and close the game and there's a good chance you'll be sat on a black screen just stuck there, and even more bugs and issues. Not to mention, missing tutorialisation on a lot of things.. It really feels like it needs another few months nailing down mechanic and system designs. So much feels overlooked, systems kinda clash together and feel unfinished (especially the painting mechanic). The writing also just felt really meh, not making much sense or had many points to it. Pretty much all the writing felt kinda like filler. I was skipping a load of the dialogue, but reading "It's more than just an umbrella—It's a reminder of the forest's beauty"…

Dull gameplay, clunky controls, and buggy. Not worth the time or money. I have requested a refund

[h1] 8/10 [/h1] A very cozy and charming game, that adds to the experience fun Mini Games and customization for the objects you repair and sell, as well as the shop. Towards the later half it can feel a bit repetitive though as there are no major NPC events until the ending, but other than it gives you a very enjoyable experience.

got it in the piece by piece bundle. very adorable, and very simple game. this is a game you sit down and just play. there isn't massive things to do. you clean/fix items and occasionally play the games version of rock, paper, and scissors.

do not recommend this game unfortunately. for one it's absolutely impossible to play on controller, even though there's a menu and option to use controller instead of mouse&keeb. so it's not even so much controller isn't an option at all BUT THAT IT IS BUT DOES NOT WORK. thats insane. why give the option and then not actually make it work? i'm talking when you're in the puzzle mode at the workbench in your shop to fix item requests, you fundamentally cannot rotate the pieces and/or broken object to complete the puzzle if you're on controller. legitimately impossible to complete the puzzle because the pieces WILL NOT fit. switch to mouse&keeb and suddenly it's fine. (though the game is REALLY, REALLY finicky about being at JUST the right angle with the puzzle piece and on the "correct" side even if how you're doing it from the opposite side/angle should work just as well. game is weirdly anal about that.) also on controller you cannot go to the menu with it. i had to literally move my hand from my controller to my keeb to press Esc cause the button for the menu on controller had absolutely nothing happen. zero response. and i hadnt changed anything from the default settings. so odd…

just like it
