Dylan Cuthbert has done it again. PixelJunk Eden was released last week for the PS3 via download on the PSN. This makes two of the best games on the system from the same damn guy. That’s a pretty impressive feat.

Now, PixelJunk Eden is in line with the whole PJ theme of “using a ton of meticulously hand-drawn 2D art instead of 3D modeled graphics, we have tried to re-create the feel of some of those older classics”. But I feel like this is a big step for Q-Games. Eden is meticulously unique in both design and aesthetics. Eden, is their best game since Digidrive, and in many ways it’s leagues better.

Both the other PixelJunk games were either too silimar to another style of game, or nearly a complete mechanical rip-off of others. Digidrive was something unique with a visual style and appeal that neither of the first two PJ games had, then comes Eden, seemingly out of left field. The sound and aesthetic design are very similar to Digidrive, yet also unique to itself. It is quite the accomplishment for such a small company to be so bold and so successful at the same time.

If you have a PS3 I feel like this is perhaps the first must buy title on the system. Yes, over Everyday Shooter (which is now on Steam too), and yes over any blu-ray Disc released title. Get it now if you haven’t. At least give the demo a try, it’s free!
