Mosaics Galore 2

Mosaics are usually quite abstract, although not as disorienting as other art forms. There are plenty examples in video games as well, since it’s quite easy to recreate them in pixelated form. Not only that, but they are perfect puzzle material too, since it can be quite tricky to reassemble something that has a pretty vague shape to begin with.

Mosaics Galore 2 is a puzzle game in which you get to play with pictures and put them back together one piece at a time. It’s not a very difficult concept, but it can get pretty annoying after a while, especially since the game penalizes you for the tiniest mistakes. On the other hand, it’s always nice to take on a challenge, especially since you feel better about yourself if you manage to overcome it.

There’s a bit of a story going on as well, but it’s not as engaging as you might think, and it doesn’t need to be either. In essence, you are actually visiting an Ent forest, which means that the action takes place in some kind of fantasy universe. There’s no actual interaction with any of the characters, but at least you get to see some interesting creatures along the way.

The game penalizes you if you make one mistake, although you can still finish the round. It’s also important that you finish within the time limit in order to receive a better grade, but again, you can still move on even if you miss all the objectives. In short, the only true goal is to place all the pieces in the right spot, because everything else is there to encourage replayability.

Each mosaic is very colorful and realized out of weirdly-shaped pieces, which makes it that much more difficult to guess where every bit goes. However, the overall mosaics are pretty simple, in the sense that they are quite expressive. Still, you can easily understand what each image represents, especially after it’s complete.

In the end, Mosaics Galore 2 can be quite the challenge, especially if you are not used to this type of games. However, it can get boring after a while, at least if you do not find the mechanics engaging from the first few minutes.
