Cozy Jigsaw Puzzles

[b]Note:[/b] A copy of this game was gifted to me, thanks to a wonderful friend. ^^ [h1]Solving puzzles while destressing XD[/h1] [h2]Introduction[/h2] [i]Cozy Jigsaw Puzzles[/i] is a cozy jigsaw puzzle game developed by Dried Lemons and published by Trench Ghost Media. You're introduced to your tiny soot companion who helps you to put the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle back together. There are a total of 20 puzzles, and you can choose to play these puzzles in 35, 140, or 280 pieces. You use your controller to navigate your soot companion as he picks up pieces, rotates them as necessary, and places them in the correct spot. Once you complete a puzzle, you get an achievement as well as a gold token. Although there are plenty of Steam achievements, they won't count towards a user's global total until the game is out of "Steam is learning about this game." [h2]Review[/h2] It has been a while since I last played a jigsaw puzzle game and feeling in the mood to play a cozy, relaxing game, [i]Cozy Jigsaw Puzzles[/i] was the perfect choice. So let's look into this game while I give my thoughts. ^^ First off, there isn't really a story, but for jigsaw puzzles, I don't think that aspe…

Sadly this is anything but cozy. The controls are very uncomfortable, the navigation with the bug is very annoying and running from one place to another to pick up the puzzles makes up like 80% of the gameplay. To make things faster you have to spam SHIFT which triggers the Windows Sticky Keys popup constantly. If you could use your mouse to move your bug, like a cursor, it would be easily a positive rating. Also when you finish the puzzle, you're just stuck in the game. It doesn't bring you back to the menu or anything, you have to alt+f4 the game to pick a new puzzle. Very annoying.
