On one hand, we have a game with some unique features and peaceful visuals, leading one to relax and play a game in an artistic environment where our worry isn't "Who can I kill?", but "How high can I push myself while interacting with the environment around me?" On the other, we have a game hellbent on making you panic and curse at your screen due to a timer or one missed jump.
The game is really unlike any other, though. The best way to describe it would be to say it's a mixture of Bionic Commando's swinging and Crackdown's orb gathering missions. You control a tiny figure (a Grimp) and swing around and stick to various growths and lines, all in an effort to collect Spectra. It sounds a little stupid, but it's a nice mix of classic and new gameplay."
PixelJunk Eden 2 manages the perfect balance between engaging gameplay and a relaxing, entrancing audiovisual experience.

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.
He's right, if you don't let the intense frustration get to you, it's a very good game, but sometimes you can get incredibly annoyed at it.
