Glass Masquerade 4: Constellations is a 2025 jigsaw puzzle game by Onyx Lute. Here at LadiesGamers, we have also reviewed the previously released Glass Masquerade and Glass Masquerade 2 Illusions on the Nintendo Switch and Glass Masquerade 3: Honeylines on Steam.
Introduction and Gameplay
The Glass Masquerade game series is already well-known for its gorgeous artwork and music. This entry is no exception. Glass Masquerade 4: Constellations consists of 28 jigsaw-like puzzles in stained glass style, split into 7 constellations / themes on the celestial map.
Glass Masquerade 4 offers an excellent choice of options to personalize the experience of solving a puzzle, from difficulty to how the puzzle pieces are released onto the game board. We have two levels of difficulty, high, where you rotate the fragments, and it should take you about 15 to 30 minutes to finish a puzzle and relax, where you don’t turn the pieces, and it should take you about 7-15 minutes to solve a puzzle. We can also choose the form of the fragments- stained glass, honeycomb, chemistry, shards, or random for each puzzle. One thing to note is that all of the options for form of the fragments, with the exception of stained glass, are available only on high difficulty.
As mentioned above, we can choose how the fragments are released onto the game board. We have several options- flood, iris, bowl, and random. For flood, the puzzle starts with edge fragments. New fragments are then immediately released around the ones already installed. In Iris, we begin with outer edge fragments, and the new pieces are issued in stages by tapering rings. In Bowl, we start with the bottom parts, and the new ones are given out in stages, as if a bowl is being filled. As for random, the fragments in each puzzle are issued in different patterns.
Statistics
Glass Masquerade 4 allows the following statistics, time, accuracy, badges, or without tracking any statistics. When choosing time or accuracy, each solved puzzle will display your times and accuracy percentage. Within the game, we can have up to 4 separate saves, each displaying the completed puzzles and the collected badges.
Soundtrack and art
The soundtrack of Glass Masquerade 4: Constellations is once again artfully composed by Nikita Sevalnev, adding to the feeling of mystery and wonderment at solving the puzzles. Personally, I can’t wait for it to be released separately.
The art is, of course, fantastic. There are light effects as the light goes through the glass, which helps with the immersion of solving a glass jigsaw puzzle. The pieces are picked up with the left mouse button and rotated with the wheel. The feeling and the animation are smooth. Then, putting a piece down on the puzzle fits seamlessly and with a satisfying click. The color palette is shades of blue and purple, and vaguely reminds me of the works of the digital artist Kagaya.
Difficulty
From the previous games, I’ve only played a couple of puzzles on the high difficulty. For Glass Masquerade 3, I remember having relatively easy time on high difficulty with the honeycomb fragments, placed in a bowl pattern. Here, in Glass Masquerade 4, this combination doesn’t yield easier puzzles.
Some Other Things
Glass Masquerade 4: Constellations has Steam achievements, but no Trading cards yet. The game has basic audio and video settings, as well as the option to toggle off and on clues.
Conclusion
Glass Masquerade 4: Constellations is a great addition to an already great game series. While it is an absolute must for fans of the games, it also makes for a great entry for new players to join in on the fun. The game is guaranteed fun with its gorgeous art, beautiful music, and smooth controls. I can hardly wait and hope for Onyx Lute to release some DLCs to go with the game
