The game still retains a brilliant sense of balance and an intrinsic "just one more try" feeling, and now there's more of it.

Pixeljunk Monsters was a fantastic addition to the PSN library, and while Encore builds upon the foundation well enough, the challenge can be more than off-putting to the casual player.

For the $6 that PixelJunk Monsters Encore will cost to buy, you get a bunch of new levels, some gameplay improvements, some new music, and the satisfaction that your PixelJunk Monsters fun can stay alive for a while longer.

The core PixelJunk Monsters experience is unchanged in Encore, and the expansion really just provides more of the same content to enjoy. If that's alright with you, you certainly won't miss your six dollars.

The new levels are fun and addictive, and the gameplay is as hypnotic as ever. Just be ready to be challenged, because while it looks innocuous enough, Encore puts up a good fight.
