1001 Jigsaw. Castles And Palaces 5

"1001 Jigsaw. Castles And Palaces 5" is a basic browser/Flash/mobile-app like jigsaw puzzle game. Solve various jigsaw puzzles made up from images that the "developer" stole off the Internet and used without crediting the actual creators, making this plagiarism, as well as an asset flip and a cash grab. An example of the stolen, uncredited/plagiarised artwork is [url=https://unsplash.com/photos/selective-focus-photography-of-girl-smiling-while-standing-near-plant-at-daytime-8ni422pxhhw]"Girl Smiling While Standing Near Plant"[/url], stolen and used without any apparent permissions or rights from the photographer, "Aravind Kumar", via stock image site, Unsplash. Sure, the image rights may allow some stock images to be used without credit (although there's no reason to believe so in this case), and claiming credit for the work of others, as is happening here, is unethical, and the creative and intellectual bankruptcy going on here is unacceptable. So what we have here is a basic jigsaw puzzle engine that's been skinned with a bunch of photos stolen off the internet and used without attribution. The icing on the cake is the "developer" here has copy + pasted + reskinned this same…

I'm playing Steam Games in alphabetical order and you can watch my review here: https://youtu.be/cYU4960afKg Prefer to read? This is one of 52 games in 8floor's "1001 Jigsaw" series that are basically a copy/pasted slop fest. Every game is nigh identical, with the only difference being the images used to create the jigsaw puzzles, all of which have been lifted without crediting the artists from various sites such as rgbstock, Unsplash and even Shutterstock. While technically not illegal, it's incredibly inconsiderate considering that these "games" wouldn't be anything without the images these artists provide. From a technical standpoint the game meets the absolute basics in terms of UI and mechanics. The looping music will make you irritated rather than relaxed, but the most frustrating element is that the cursor is misaligned in almost every game, resulting in numerous misclicks. I was also immensely disappointed by the lack of a single jigsaw puzzle with 1001 pieces in ANY of these games. Most importantly though, they recently INCREASED the price of many of their games, to nearly triple the original price. Because they feel comfortable selling a copy/pasted game, they'll be rec…

Decent game. Lots of different puzzles. In-game achievements.

1001 Jigsaw: Castles And Palaces 5 is another relaxing entry in the long-running puzzle collection series from developer and publisher 8floor. Rather than focusing on innovation or complex mechanics, the game embraces the timeless appeal of jigsaw puzzles and combines it with a carefully selected collection of images centered on majestic castles, royal palaces, and historic landmarks from around the world. The result is a peaceful and accessible experience that is designed primarily for players who enjoy taking their time, solving puzzles, and appreciating beautiful architecture.

One of the most appeal…
