I reviewed Pieces of my Heart two times: once back in August when I purchased it, and then right after it was out of Early Access. Needless to say, it improved so much in that time I had nothing negative to say about it.
The game is a porn jigsaw puzzle with many elements that differentiate it from the myriad of shovelware that plague Steam. For starters, they added some dating-sim mechanics where you date a girl on Tinder Titter, and will reward you with stars you can spend later on depending on the difficulty you choose and how well the date went.
Each date is divided into “cute mode” and “slut mode”: The former features a cute SFW puzzle while the latter has a raunchier one, as you might have guessed by its name. Moreover, each girl will talk to you and ask questions as you complete the puzzles, so the game feels a bit more like a date. You'll also unlock picks of the girl you’re chatting with and obtain a star at the end of the round whenever you answer a question right. As you might imagine, the further you get in the game, the spicier the unlocked pic will be.
The post-date sex scenes are also very well-done (I bet that’s what you wanted to know the most, naughty boy/girl ;) ). It has the usual options to fondle the girl, creampie her or pull out, but they added some interesting mechanics to make it funnier. Pulling out lets you aim where you want your junk spunk to land, and you get a star if it lands on her face. Depending on the girl, achieving it is as easy as pulling out and shooting with no need to aim; so hard you wish you didn’t fall asleep when they were teaching projectile motion in physics; or something in between.
The fetishes featured in the game are vanilla save for some exhibitionism and footjobs on the side, though you should be aware one of the dates features some light NTR. It's avoidable if you aren't a completionist and don't mind skipping Skylar's date, but you'll have to play that bit if you want to get everything in the game.
The visuals are pretty good too. The characters and backgrounds are lovely, and Erkerut’s unique art style works really well in this game. Moreover, all the puzzles are animated. That's not just limited to the girls; you'll also see some movement in the backgrounds, such as fading lights, people walking, some steam, etc.
Verdict: Very Good
Pieces of my Heart is a fun jigsaw game fans of adult games should get. It may not have a wider appeal like other NSFW games, but its solid gameplay and pretty visuals make this game worth a try.
