About PixelJunk Eden
PixelJunk Eden is the third PSN title from the addictive PixelJunk series by Japanese developer Q-Games. In this psychedelic platform game, the player will find themselves submersed amongst towering alien plant-life. Within this constantly evolving and vibrant environment, the player leaps and swings between the lush plants, smashing into bizarre enemies and navigating around the undergrowth to gather treasures and pollen to grow more plants. Through various levels, the player is treated to stylish 1080p graphics, a unique techno soundtrack and addictive fluid gameplay. PixelJunk Eden also supports both single and co-op play with up to three players.

We like
- The original, organic and addictive gameplay never seen before in any other game
- The brilliant audiovisual presentation
- The wealth of features including Remote Play, Trophies, and YouTube support
We dislike
- The slightly irksome camera during cooperative play
- The repetitiveness of the Spectra-attaining process
