July was yet again a slow month for me, completed a couple of cats games and started up yet another run for Miitopia which I think is my favorite switch game ever.
But!! I also signed up for POP and got picked some nice games, so I hope to at least play 3 of them.

Games added in July:

Games added: 34 (1more than the month before)
Games won: 2 (One more than last time)
Free games: 6

Also bought the newest some DLC for Pixel Puzzles and PP.

I can see I have a lot of cat games this time, at least they were free or very cheap :D

Hmmm, Figment 2 and Miero Master does not show achievements here even though they have in-game, I can’t remember where it is I can report that so it can be fixed here?

So recommendations are always welcome

Pixel Puzzles 2: Birds/Space, now that’s a throwback. Played those aaages ago, but new jigsaw puzzle games just keep coming!

Figment 2 is definitely a step-up from the first game; more visually and thematically consistent. How come you haven’t played the first one?

Looking forward to seeing you play What Remains of Edith Finch. One of my favorite games and the best walking simulator I’ve played yet.

Yeah I just started doing puzzles on the computer, real puzzles takes soooo much space ;)

I only discovered Figment 2, because it was in the bundle + I won it :D Maybe I Should try the 1st af one point.

Thats also one of the games I am looking very forward to play, hopefully in september

Oh, I could never go back to physical jigsaw puzzles! The problem is keeping up with the virtual ones! ^^;;

Definitely try the first one, unless you have emetophobia or a particularly strong dislike for lever-switching/box-pushing puzzles. It’s got that same musical-adjacent charm to it!

September! Now that’s gonna be atmospheric!

Jekofob

I will. thank you :D

Do you have some good virtual puzzle games?

Amitte

Pixel Puzzles games are always good, even if they have image-only UIs and no option to put pieces together outside of the game board. (I mean, come on, that’s what everyone does in real life…)

Mens Sana Interactive’s puzzle games are all cute. (I’ve only played two of them so far, but you can tell from the preview images!)

The Glass Masquerade series has stunning visuals. It’s different from all the others in that instead of regular photos or drawings, you’re putting together stained glass pieces. I’ve only beaten the second game and still yet have to get the third one, but I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Moe Jigsaw is a hidden gem if you like anime-adjacent art, as it features art from various big-name VNs (most of which have never made its way out of Japan, unfortunately), as opposed to some random stolen or AI generated artwork. Watch out for the DLCs, though, I remembered I had to buy a bunch of them to get all the achievements.

Besides these, there are a few miscellaneous games I’ve either played a while ago or have yet to try. I’m also currently playing Microsoft Jigsaw and emulating Jigsaw Madness on the PS1 (localized version of Jigsaw Island: Japan Graffiti, which was recently ported to Steam.) I need an intervention xD

You can post about it in a dedicated discussion. Not sure how often is it checked out, as the games I reported some time ago are still missing achievements.

Jekofob

Oh yes, thank you, I will try and then see if they get time at some point :D

Gonna have some busy times coming up. Luckily a bunch of those are super short so it shouldn’t clog up the backlog for to long

Jekofob

Sadly ran into so much stuff irl that I cant bring myself to play much right now, I hope to see a light for it soon :)
