On sale for really cheap (until 03/03/2021)

If you've not bought this game yet, you can get both Glass Masquerade 1 and 2 in a double pack on PSN for £2.69 (or your local amount).
 

Highly recommend both of these if you like casual puzzle games which will last many hours with a nice platinum as a reward for completing all the puzzles.

 

I reviewed both games (below), but for this price, there's no reason not to pick them up!

The first game is nice and fun, but the second game seems to be made by someone who definitely hates fun. Even if you like jigsaws and puzzle games, the second game is "dumbed" down and extremely frustrating to play.

The first game had flavor and interesting different shaped puzzles.

In the second game, every puzzle is circular and going through the pieces without any tips or references to the final "picture" will make you want to jump off a tall building. The art of the second one is also not unique at all. It's the same boring clown faces and colors on every puzzle. It's the same damn thing every level. The levels with 70+ pieces that are small are almost impossible to do without a reference. You will definitely have a headache playing this dumb catastrophe of a game.

 

The developers of this clearly didn't want to make a good sequel.

If you are wondering whether to get this only for the platinum, get only the first game. If you hate fun, get the second one as well.

If you like puzzle games, you will end up hating the whole genre of games because of the second one. What a terrible abomination.. No wonder only 50% of the people who have this gave effort for the platinum.

 

Too bad though. I guess the developers wanted to make a quick buck and just recycled one style of puzzle from the first game and make it "difficult" by making you rotate the pieces and smash your head in the wall.

Both games are excellent and very easy. Difficulty of the second is at most a 3/10. Very enjoyable games, hope there's a 3, a 4 and beyond.

 

Unfortunately the standards of "trophy hunters" these days is Rata trash, so anything that takes more than 30 mins and actually forces people to use their brains (duh... what's that),so this is probably very hard or even extreme to that group.

The first was a typical easyplat. The second one actually challenged me a bit. However, it would probably help if you had the finished image to look up for reference. Make sure to use a guide if you go for the second plat.
