Developed by Q-Games Ltd. and published by Spike Chunsoft, it builds upon the foundations of the original PixelJunk Monsters while shifting the presentation into full 3D, introducing both a stronger sense of immersion and a few new complications.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 209 sampled reviews raised it
Older PC's will struggle with the frame rate but the graphics are very good, controls are great, and it just plays really well.
