There are going to be many players who will be able to instantly take to the game and all of its mechanics. Nevertheless, new players may need a little guidance before starting their journey. With that in mind, these essential beginner tips should help quite a bit for players unfamiliar with the genre.
7 Search For The Personal Items
At the beginning of the game, a player must start off by searching for the three personal items that Elise has scattered around the house. This will help a player to get a good feel of the game in the beginning, and know what they are up against.
These personal items may be a bit difficult for a player to find at first, but they will eventually be able to get them. There are three in total, and the game makes sure that the player knows what they are, and that they grab them before they leave.
6 Scare The Bird Without Running At It
At some point, a player will have to find and get a key that used to belong to somebody named Levan. However, the only problem is that there is a bird hanging around the key, and a player will have to get the bird away from the key in order to pick it up.

Most people will simply rush toward the bird to scare it away, but there is another way to get it to leave, without running at it. All a player has to do is conjure up a storm. This will scare the bird away without needing to rush at it, and gives the player an achievement.
5 Get Ready To Start Fending Off Attackers
The game Broken Pieces is not just a story about exploring and figuring out the solution to puzzles - there will be many times when a player needs to fight for themselves. As such, a player needs to arm themselves with a weapon and get killing.
The enemies that a player will face off against will range from all sorts of things, including deranged devotees. A player will have to learn how to fend for themselves if they want to get far - one that can help is collecting a gun placed in a cabin early on.
4 Be Sure To Grab The Axe
While a player can use the gun to defend themselves against devotees, they may not realize that they need to pick up everything. This is regardless of whether or not they think it will be useful (even if they do not use it as a weapon, they can use it for puzzles).
One shining example of this is the axe. After players rush away from the devotees and get to a safer spot - that being near a particular car - they will want to take the axe. It’s very useful.
3 Do Not Be Afraid To Explore
The game is pretty good at holding a player’s hand and easing them into the gameplay during the first hour or so, but after that, a player will mostly be on their own. As such, it may be confusing as to what a player will have to do next.

One thing that will be a tried and true method, however, is exploring and touching every crevice that a player can get their hands on. This method of exploring all sorts of interesting places can actually help to get a player on the right track sometimes.
2 Interact With Everything
Just like how exploring every nook and cranny will be good for a player to get back on track, it is also important to interact with everything possible. The game Broken Pieces focuses heavily on puzzles, after all.
As such, a player will really want to start touching and fiddling with everything they can. Who knows? They could end up picking up a piece that will be vital in solving a particular puzzle ahead of them.
1 Take Some Time To Think
The game Broken Pieces is a little complex, and players may have to think a little bit in order to solve the puzzles that are in front of them. It will not do a player any good to rush their way through the game. Instead, it would be better to take a second to think things through.
It would be a good idea for a player to take a second in order to think through what their next step is. It could help them to understand the puzzle more, and thus come up with the solution.
Broken Pieces is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Xbox Series X, and Series S.
