The gameplay is praised for its well-constructed mechanics and thoughtful design, offering a calming experience that is both engaging and challenging, particularly in puzzle games like "Sexy Jigsaw." Players appreciate the smooth functionality, including easy zooming and progress saving, while noting that the game can be quite difficult for casual players. Overall, the gameplay is described as masterfully crafted, providing a rewarding experience that keeps players invested for hours.
“The gameplay consists of neatly and precisely constructed features and mechanics that match that, and at some points surpass that of adventure games on the Atari 2600.”
“The gameplay is so masterfully created, with as much thought put into it as humanly possible.”
“There are no clunky mechanics; you can easily zoom in and out, and it saves your puzzle's progress.”
“After about 70 hours of gameplay, you finally learn who the final boss is, and spoilers, it was your best friend who has been by your side since the very beginning of the game and has been in your party ever since that infamous starting cutscene of you picking them up from the ground.”
“The mechanics of the game are very simple; the game shows a transparent version of the complete image, and the player must place the pieces that start around the image in the correct spots. If a piece hits the right place, it stays permanently, preventing the player from accidentally removing it.”
“Took me quite a while to solve them all; don't look at my gameplay time, I forgot it was open.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding the soundtrack soothing and enjoyable, while others criticize it for being repetitive and limited to a single track. Many recommend turning off the default music to listen to personal playlists instead, as the available options can quickly become tiresome.

“This game's soundtrack has a lot for everybody.”
“Sexy jigsaw is a creative, smart, and clever twist on the role-playing game genre, with high tech graphics, a soothing soundtrack, and a story that questions the sanity of man and our will to live.”
“To summarize, you get a very basic jigsaw puzzle title with random anime art of average quality and one music track.”
“The only problems besides some difficult ones - the UI can't be disabled and the default music is awful.”
“Unfortunately, the game does not have many options for music, making them a bit repetitive, but it is always possible to silence the music and play something else.”
