Jixo 3: Hidden Horizons Collector's Edition

With several country-based themes, Jixo 3 is a charming puzzle game. Perfect for hopping in and having a chill moment whenever you want, at least if you opt for a casual look. If you would like a bit more of a challenge, you can also opt for normal or extreme mode instead. Under these various themes, there are several different game modes, which I find pretty neat since they keep things fresh and prevent the game from feeling repetitive. You can complete them however you like. If you want to do your favourites or non-favourites first, why not? You can! Or if you’re feeling bold, there’s even a ‘surprise me’ option that gives you a random puzzle. So, nothing is stopping or holding you back behind locked stuff. Well, almost nothing… The only thing that is locked is the bonus games, which you can unlock over time by earning coins by playing the main game. On that note, I must admit that I sometimes had trouble seeing the coins drop in certain levels. Thankfully, you always get coins at the end of the level, too. Since it wasn’t very clear if my in-game achievement of having 10k coins still counts if I bought a bonus game aka spending some of them coins, I decided to saved them up to …

I'm really impressed with this game developer. Every time they produce a new game they are some new improvements made or a totally new puzzle introduced. I already love the locked box puzzle, I'm struggling with the new puzzle, sliding shapes, still doable but I'm slowly warming up to it. All the puzzles are doable it's game play is something to while your stress away. The fact that you can switch and play in another language is an added bonus. I've played in both English & Dutch (Netherlands). The artwork illustration renderings are beautiful and especially for the hidden object games the attention to details are superb. They have put a lot of thought in the game. Also like the subtle 2D movement effect when you've completed a hidden object puzzle. I hope they will continue producing these games for every season of the year.

I have all four of the Jixo games. They are a great mix of captivating genre, colours are vibrant and scenes are superb. I look forward to the next selection of entertaining games.

First off this is one of the prettiest hidden object game that i have seen. each country has hidden object and mini games to do. the mini games are unique, not your everyday mini games. the music is really nice too. i hope they make some more like this with new countries to go to.

A good mix of the different types of games MixoGames offers in their catalog. Swap-2 slider puzzle variant, jigsaws, reassemble the image by matching up fragments, hidden object scenes, remove all the arrow block slider puzzles, and pick-2 clutter games. A new variant of slider puzzle is introduced in some chapters of the "slide pieces along the lines" variety. There are 10 "chapters" each comprising 6 different levels, where it's a random assortment of the different game types per chapter. The gold coins earned and/or picked up while playing the levels are used to unlock the CE bonus games: mahjong, more arrow block puzzles, and what appears to be an endless game of putting colored shapes into a crossword-type grid such that no row/column has any duplicates. The difficulty is easier than in other MixoGames releases, except for maybe the new "slide items along the lines" puzzles as a couple of those were tricky. There is no storyline. Pretty graphics and a relaxing soundtrack. It's a good introduction to this developer's catalog if you want a chillax game without a bunch of dialog interruptions. If you want more of a challenge plus a story, try any of the other series …
