Addictive, satisfying and also the most meditative and thought provoking of these types of games.
I love seeing the art come together and it helps me understand or at least think I am understanding, the art a bit better.
Some are warm and cozy, others cold and bleak and it really makes me think what each artist was thinking when they chose certain colors, what the story behind the painting or the people in the portraits was.
As someone who's own art block came about partially due to AI it's soothing seeing real art and paired with classical music, it's incredibly relaxing.
I'm not some art snob and I admit I'm unfamiliar with several of these artists, and I won't pretend I understand or even like some of them (thankfully none of these are awful modern art, even the abstract ones feel like the artists placed emotion and care into them. Whoever curated these paintings for the game did a good job and I hope they make more games like this or expand this one with additional galleries and paintings or maybe add in statues as well.)

I am also really happy that my own memory and color perception hasn't gotten as bad as I thought it had. I easily remember where the paintings are, (somehow easier than I remember where the cereal boxes go in a super market organizing game)

I know a lot of people consider these organizing games as "slop" games, but I would definitely recommend this one. It's a good price and great for focus and relaxation.

My one complaint would be the achievements, I enjoy working towards those but the achievements here are too few and I am not a fan. Things like piling up 500 pieces are annoying and impractical, just a waste of time, in my opinion.
I also despise speed run achievements, but that's just me.
I'd have preferred more milestone achievements as well as ones for completing particular artists. This is a minor gripe, but I do enjoy achievements that help me track my progress but don't force me to do tedious tasks.

3.5/5
The game is a bit tedious as expected. But at least skills can offer some help, maxed out skills give permanent perks which make the late game as fast as 10% per 6 minutes. Overall I had a worse experience if we compare to some Paver, Librarian or Cellar, but worth the discounted price!

Cleaning Up The Puzzle Gallery is a Fun Tidyup Puzzle Game With great Artworks / Paintings to look at and for the most part was pretty enjoyable. If you love getting the sht scared out of you by all means please play the haunted gallery mode. This game was a very 50/50 for me anyway because of having to play and replay it so many times and to find out how the multiplayer actually worked and unfortunately i can't recommend getting this if you want to solve puzzles or do the main storymode galleries with the achievements turned on with any of your friends because it simply won't work. The dev added in a multiplayer update that's great and all with funny custom avatars and custom images that support pretty much any image file you could probably think of and well. It's all just a sandbox mode like... for shts and gigs like endgame after the storymode gallery type deal if you aren't an achievement hunter like me kinda thing and well, i simply hate how limiting it is and can't recommend this as a multiplayer experience because of it. I do wish the dev did better on that because the haunted gallery, the trophy room, the expanded gallery are all great it could just be better and more multiplayer like the hand achievement can have your friend help you pile on puzzle pieces in a big mound to get the achievement... together? not in a sandbox. i can recommend this game for solo puzzle solving and tidyup but it is NOT a multiplayer experience and believe me i've tried. I guess the dev was scared the abilities would be too overpowered or something in multi and would make any of the achievements have far less value? not going to speculate but that could be it. anyway i'll still give the game a thumbsup because it's still an enjoyable game even if it's lonely. :c
