PixelJunk Eden is the third PlayStation Network title from the PixelJunk series by Japanese developer Q-Games. PixelJunk Eden welcomes you to a psychedelic world unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.
As a tiny, silk-spinning ‘grimp’, it is up to you to collect the lost “Spectra” that have been scattered across all the gardens of Eden. You grip, jump and swing, destroying “Prowlers” and collecting their pollen which lets you grow more plants to take you further and deeper into the garden to locate the precious “Spectra.” Lush visuals, slick controls and music make it an atmospheric and addictive experience.
Fertilized with intuitive gameplay, does this garden grow on the player? Find out in this PixelJunk Eden video review.
To quote the video review: “Eden’s hypnotic colors, combined with upbeat, trance-inducing grooves, make it one of the more therapeutic experiences available. The entire game is bathed in flat hues, but the seemingly simple visuals are bolstered by its unique art style. It’s almost always pretty to look at and visually interesting. Garden seven’s twist on gravity will have you struggling to find right-side up as you fight against everything your mind is telling you.
PixelJunk Eden is a game worth putting down the chain gun for. Its simple, intuitive gameplay, combined with a clever use of strategy and impressive length make it a great buy for PS3 owners looking for a cheap fix. Looks can sometimes be deceiving, and if you give this garden a chance you’ll end up with a green thumb in no time.”
