Glass Masquerade 4: Constellations

I'm going to give this a thumbs up because it worked: no bugs, all achievements doable, and the U.I. stayed out of the way. However, it's a jigsaw puzzle game so only get if that's your thing, and if it is, I recommend starting with Glass Masquerade 1. I wasn't thrilled or wowed by it, but then I realized 'it's a puzzle, currently on sale for $1 and change during the Steam Summer Sale.' My chief complaint was that I found it too easy, completing the entire base game in under 4 hours for roughly two dozen puzzles, but maybe that's a plus if you're an achievement hunter.

I wish I had found this game earlier. It's quite relaxing, and it has beautiful puzzle designs as well. Constellations in particular, has a very mystical aura to it, and I liked the music a lot, that's why I chose it before trying the previous titles. Perhaps I'd like it to contain more puzzle designs per constellation, but overall it's a pretty nice title to chill. :3

Another great entry in the Glass Masquerade series!

magnificent game play. Exquisite design with outstanding displays and color.

Glass Masquerade 4 felt like the series took everything it learned from the previous games and polished it into a smoother overall experience. The UI is clean, simple, and easy to navigate. The main menu gives you a nice overview before leading you into the puzzle selection, which is organized into different themes such as mythical creatures and zodiac-inspired collections. I also appreciated that each section contained a reasonable number of puzzles, so it never felt overwhelming. The puzzle settings, cuts, and difficulty options also felt a little more refined, even if they weren't drastically different from the previous game. Everything was straightforward and easy to figure out. I also enjoyed the Celestial DLC. One of my favorite changes was the achievement design. Compared to the earlier games, the achievements felt much more realistic and progression-based. Instead of requiring near-perfect accuracy or completing every puzzle on the hardest difficulty, this time you only needed to try different puzzle cuts, difficulties, and complete the puzzles naturally. It made going for 100% much more enjoyable instead of feeling like a chore. My only real criticism is that, while th…

Its not a game, its emotional audiovisual experience. <3
