Rainbow Mosaics: Christmas Lights 2

The holidays are usually a time when people like to relax and forget about their problems for a while, even if it’s just a temporary distraction. However, relaxation does not necessarily mean you have to turn your brain off completely. Puzzles can be a great way to spend your spare time, especially if they do not require extensive research before they can be tackled.

Rainbow Mosaics: Christmas Lights 2 is a puzzle game that presents you with the chance to solve Christmas-themed nonograms and put your mind through a mild exercise. The actual gameplay is not different from every other puzzle game of this type, but it’s a bit more fluid and enjoyable, for some reason. The holiday theme works wonders for your mood if you need something light.

The story starts when the Johnson family realizes on the day before Christmas that all their presents are gone. Naturally, they decide to get them back, which takes them on a great adventure in a variety of interesting places. Everything about the story is presented using static artwork, but the drawings are really nice, and they help a lot with the atmosphere.

Each level features a different mosaic you have to complete, although the artwork itself is very basic. In fact, it can be difficult to understand what some of the drawings are meant to represent without a description, but at least this keeps you from guessing where the tiles go. There are more than enough stages to keep you busy for a long time.

As for the graphics, everything looks about as simple as you would expect, but the nice colors and the simple artwork work wonders in the right conditions. If you are a Christmas lover, then this should be more than enough to help you get into the right mood. To top things off, the soundtrack is in tune with the season as well, at least as long as you are not already sick of Christmas songs.

When it’s all said and done, Rainbow Mosaics: Christmas Lights 2 is about as addictive and exciting as nonogram games get. Hence, it’s definitely worth a try if you are a fan of the genre and you need something light to distract you during the holiday season.
