kjorteoSuper Jigsaw Puzzle Generations is a jigsaw puzzle game. It is exactly what it looks like. You get pictures, they are broken down into jigsaw puzzles, you solve them because you are presumably the type of person who enjoys sitting down and solving jigsaw puzzles.
The mechanics for assembling and placing the pieces feel fine, the music is good, you have multiple drawers you can save pieces in to keep yourself organized, etc. You can choose the number of pieces to break an image down into, going up as high as 800. There are a handful of free images it comes with to get you started, and if you're utterly hooked, there is of course DLC and that's where they get you. I'm not saying anything surprising here, in other words: this is literally a jigsaw puzzle game, but as far as jigsaw puzzle games go, this one is fine and good. (You can tell this is a quality game because the images look like charming stock photos rather than hentai shovelware.)
I'm not sure this is the sort of thing that's meant to be "completed," since you can just keep getting more pictures and going through them forever. Still, I'm content for now. I just finished an 800-piece version of what I feel is the only stock image they have in the free section (the one with the pile of multi-color tape measures) that has enough contrasting colors, numbers and lines and other telltale details to aid in recognizability, etc. to make an 800-piece jigsaw puzzle version of it feel fair and not frustrating to solve. I feel good about solving that one, because I do like this sort of thing, but I don't see any other images in the free pile that would make me want to go through all that again, and I don't want to pay money for this.
Oh, well. It's still neat.
