Each level is a visual feast for the eyes, game-play is simple and what you would expect of a jigsaw in real life. If you do so happen to get stuck, then a hint system is available. Personally, the asking price seems fair for how detailed the designs are, and I’d happily return to this game if they add additional levels in the future. My biggest issue...
A beautifully crafted 3D puzzle game that has a high chance of making you hungry when playing.
Umami is a very well crafted puzzle game that lets you take things at your own pace. Each of the puzzles is very well put together and look great, while the levels themselves provide a relaxing atmosphere. A couple of minor issues with the puzzle pieces do not totally detract from a game that lets you just sit and enjoy yourself.
UMAMI is a nice and quick game to play when you're not up for the heavy stuff. With cute food and artwork, it'll leave players looking for this type of title satisfied.
