Pixel Puzzles 4k: Japan

I do not recommend this game , the original Pixel Puzzle was way more better than this in my opinion. It would be a great game if the pieces do not need a very accurate positioning and some pictures are using out of focus effect that is very disturbing ( you see just colored spots in 4 K resolution !)

Pixel Puzzles 4k: Japan 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 "borrowed" uncredited/plagiarised artwork is [url=https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/image-apprentice-geisha-208335088]"Image Apprentice Geisha"[/url], stolen from Shutterstock. Sure, the image rights may allow the stock image to be used without credit, but 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 asset onto Steam [i]a lot[/i]. We must ask what value it presents to gamers to have the same jigsaw puzzle repeatedly dumped onto Steam with more and more stolen images polluting Steam. From a technical perspective, the game does…

It's nice to have classic shaped puzzle pieces rather than the types you can find in Pixel Puzzles Ultimate, It's also nice to have puzzles that aren't too big, 800/1000 piece puzzles are too big for digital puzzle games played on monitors making them more of a chore than an enjoyable experience.

The options and saving progress is all bugged. Normally I love Pixel Puzzles, but this one is a hard pass.

i absolutely love the game series, but this particular one has a hard time placing the pieces, be it because im not on a 4k screen, or otherwise should not really matter for its playability. simply a no for me because the smaller the pieces become, the more frustrating it becomes to place a piece while knowing full well it belongs there. literally cramping up my mouse hand.

Cannot recommend due to Esc closing the puzzle with NO confimation dialog. Closing the puzzle clears all loose pieces in the workspace and I was still in the process of placing edge pieces there, so I ended up with edge and and other pieces mixed again in the floating pool. The other Pixel Puzzle games do not close the game upon Esc. Unfortunately, the other Pixel Puzzles games now hove this same flaw. As a side note, without at least a very large monitor (4K is likely not necessary) the puzzles with the most pieces in this game are pretty difficult to work on due to difficulty seeing any detail on the tiny pieces in the sorting tray.
