Two reviews right in a row about piecing together pottery?  And from the same publisher no less?  What are the odds?  Anyway, here you piece together broken mugs, pots, plates, and more in this jigsaw puzzle style game.  Some of the pottery has pictures of cats or cat patterns on them, hence the name.  Magic Cats Pots is available on some current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.

When you start the game, you are presented with categories of pots (mugs, plates, etc.).  There are 9 different categories with 14 pieces in each one, so over 100 things to put together.  When you put together all the things in one category, you can move onto the next.  At first, you can only do “Cozy” difficulty, which only has like, 3 or 4 pieces.  Once you finish a category, you can do them in medium difficulty, and when you beat the whole game, you can do them all in the final hard mode.  So there’s quite a lot to do.

To put together the pottery, click on a piece with a cursor and you can drag it around.  Use the L2 and R2 shoulder buttons to rotate them, and click the button again to place it down.  If two pieces fit, they’ll interlock and become one.  Simple as that.  Only problem I have with this game is how long it takes to unlock the harder difficulties, but otherwise it’s a fairly decent jigsaw puzzler with quite a bit of content if you want something relaxing.

Kid Factor:

Nothing violent or objectionable here.  Reading skill is helpful for some of the text, but not necessary just to play.  Magic Cats Pots is rated E for Everyone.
