I loved the first Patchwork so much that I purchased the Collector's Edition even though I had already bought the Standard Edition. And that is my only disappointment with the 2nd version - there is no Collector's Edition.

These puzzles give me the sense of travelling without having to leave my home. They are beautifully done. Bravo to the developer. Show less

I recommend this game!

If you enjoy jigsaw puzzles and mosaics, these images of countries around the world will bring you hours of entertainment. The colors are saturated, with a great deal of texture almost stitched into each piece. The finished puzzles resemble quilts and intricate fabric art.

If you enjoy jigsaw puzzles and mosaics, these images of countries around the world will bring you hours of entertainment. The colors are saturated, with a great deal of texture almost stitched into each piece. The finished puzzles resemble quilts and intricate fabric art. I am someone who wants those gold stars, but I immediately put that to the side, as it took me a lot of time and misplaced pieces to finally solve the puzzles. And I didn't mind a bit. I'm especially enjoying the images from Georgia, and find myself stopping to Duck-Duck-Go them to look at maps and aerial images and wikis about all of these amazing places. Talk about rabbit holes! I feel like I'm getting multiple games in one. Thank you to the creators of these beautiful puzzles. Show less

Patchwork 2 is extremely challenging from the start unlike the first one. There is no way to beat the timer. Unless you're blessed with superhuman speed 3 stars will never happen. Completing a puzzle with no errors will not earn them for you either, if playing in Relaxed Mode.

Patchwork 2 is extremely challenging from the start unlike the first one. There is no way to beat the timer. Unless you're blessed with superhuman speed 3 stars will never happen. Completing a puzzle with no errors will not earn them for you either, if playing in Relaxed Mode.

Each puzzle is locked and that is disappointing as I don't like being forced to play in sequence. There are 25 puzzles for each of the 6 countries featured. The first, Great Britain was not interesting or pretty, at least in the first 3 puzzles. My demo wasn't enough time to accomplish much because of the difficulty of each.

There are many pieces in each puzzle and their sizes and odd shapes make assembly slow and frustrating. So the timer was out of the question for me and i just enjoyed the challenge at hand, not worrying about the stars.

I didn't care for the bland colors and the images were nothing special. The "materials" used are the usual variety and the little patterns on them add to the unique look of the patchwork design. I appreciated the ease of picking up and placing the pieces, they stayed with my cursor until I was ready to release them. No "accidental" drops like in other patchwork games. I also loved being able to scroll up and down the strip to see all the pieces which helped in making the right choice.

I feel this game is worth picking up if you love challenging puzzles and the countries featured, and if earning 3 stars isn't important to you. I hope the subject matter and color will improve as the game progresses and the beauty I'm hoping to see emerges. Patchwork: Explore the World was really beautiful so I would think Number 2 should be also.

Not being a CE is a plus for me and I will purchase this game when it is available in a sale. I love patchwork games! Several of my older ones don't work with Windows 10. I miss them a lot so finding new quality patchworks is always a good thing. It would be nice if animals, fantasy, nature would be considered in future creations. Show less

I like the puzzle games. I have bought all of the Patchwork games. I like to take my time with them. This one .... is so hard that I cannot finish them without hints. It's just not fun if you can't win on your own. I like the harder puzzles... I am afraid to say.... Hard yes... impossible no. Is it that hard to understand?

I don't recommend this game.

Love the game, very challenging. However, the game makers in a few games have the colors too light making it hard to see where the puzzles pieces go. Need to change this. Other than that, enjoyed the game. Previous commenters said there is no way to beat the timer. Very true. Takes me awhile to do a puzzle. You do get your money's worth with this one! Keep making more of these!

I recommend this game!

As already said, you can't even get three stars in the relaxed play.
Maybe that is a bug?
Would be great if somebody could have a look at this...

Why would I play this game if I have the Timed option off (on Relaxed mode) and play the first level and then all of a sudden, get a star deducted?!? This makes no sense to me !! I deleted it off my computer. I cannot play a puzzle game if I cannot get three stars all the time. Really aggravating...

I don't recommend this game.
