Pixel Puzzles 3: Ukiyo-e Jigsaws

Pixel Puzzles 3: Ukiyo-e Jigsaws, developed and published by Pixel Puzzles, is a serene and visually captivating entry in the long-running Pixel Puzzles series. This installment focuses on Japanese woodblock artistry, known as Ukiyo-e, transforming some of Japan’s most celebrated traditional art forms into intricate digital jigsaw puzzles. The game is less about innovation and more about immersion, drawing players into a meditative rhythm of piecing together stunning visuals while appreciating the beauty of Edo-period aesthetics. It’s a digital homage to both the craft of puzzle-solving and the timeless elegance of Japanese art, creating a space where calmness and concentration intertwine. From the moment you begin a puzzle, it becomes clear that this is a game designed to evoke tranquility rather than competition or urgency. The pieces are rendered with clarity, and the interface avoids unnecessary clutter, allowing the artwork to take center stage. Each image captures the essence of Ukiyo-e—depictions of nature, samurai, geishas, landscapes, and mythic scenes—all painted in vivid tones that blend harmony and contrast.

A Pixel Puzzles game centered around Ukiyo-e images. Not much more to state.

Good puzzles, and I like to finally have the option of local multiplayer. The default settings for the game are clearly catered for the multiplayer aspect requiring a controller instead of a mouse, making the game a bit too easy for mouse users.

A new gem in my couch coop collection! I have been looking for a local coop puzzle game for so long. The controls are brilliantly simple and work straight away. Up to four players can work on a puzzle at the same time. If you're looking for a completely relaxed co-op experience, you'll find it here. Keep up the great work and support with more content!

It is a fun little addition to the Pixel Puzzles franchise, but it is a bit limited. It'd have been nicer to have the prints' actual names included and a fair few more as puzzles.
