Game Focus writes: "Q-Games and Sony Japan have released another interesting game which defy a clear place in any one genre and could clearly be given its own genre called 'Puzzle on LSD'. With this being the third Pixel Junk game on the Playstation network, after 'Pixel Junk Monsters' and 'Pixel Junk Monsters Encore' it is obvious Q-Games will continue to deliver unique and compelling titles, but how does this title stack up and does it deserve your money and is 'Eden' a bad trip?
One of the most interesting downloadable games we have seen or played on any one platform is no doubt Pixel Junk Eden. Starting out in an almost barren garden you begin by jumping up and spin around collecting these items called Spectra, which have been scattered across gardens, using Spectra you grow plants allowing you to reach higher points and collect more Spectra. Finally reaching your goal, clearing the garden and moving to the next level and then you repeat. Basically that is all there is to the game, but the game has a fluid presentation mixed with this addictive need to reach the next garden that is very appealing."
PixelJunk Eden 2 manages the perfect balance between engaging gameplay and a relaxing, entrancing audiovisual experience.
Each week Sony brings PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita and PlayStation Portable owners new content, add-ons, games and more.

If you know anything about Q-Games, you know that we made a name for ourselves during the PlayStation 3 era with our acclaimed PixelJunk series. Debuting way back in 2007, we were one of the first indies to cut our teeth on the newly released console. Our idea for the series was simple: rework old school gaming concepts in beautiful high-definition visuals, while keeping the easy to learn, difficult to master gameplay that made us fall in love with games in the first place.
