World's Greatest Places Mosaics

Regardless of how much you enjoy traveling, you probably won’t manage to visit every country in the world, let alone all the great spots or monuments. Thankfully, technology is here to save you yet again, by allowing you to see and almost experience the joy of visiting a different country without actually leaving your chair at home.

World's Greatest Places Mosaics is a puzzle game in which the goal is to solve puzzles by completing a series of mosaics, using different colors and shapes to do so. While the recipe itself is far from complex, the actual mosaics may take a while to solve without too many mistakes. However, you need to pay attention to the instructions and think really well before making any move at all.

As you might suspect, there’s no story to keep engaged, so you have to make up your own little events as you go along. Each puzzle takes place in a different location, so there’s always something to admire while you slave away at the board. On the other hand, the tiles are in front of the actual picture, which prevents you from actually seeing anything for most of the time.

It quickly becomes apparent how unpolished the game really is, because everything is barely functioning. The quality and the resolution of the images used as backgrounds are terrible, which is disappointing to see in a game that relies on pictures to entertain you. Almost every bit of text you stumble upon has some sort of type or grammar mistake.

The puzzles themselves are not very well thought out either, especially not if you haven’t played anything like this before. The difficulty curve is unpredictable and frustrating, while the actual puzzles seem to encourage guessing more than thinking and evaluating each move. Thus, there’s little incentive to keep playing after the initial couple of minutes.

In the end, there’s nothing inviting about World's Greatest Places Mosaics, unless you don’t know what you are getting into. Hence, unless the visual quality is improved, the mosaics are polished and the typos are fixed, the game is very unlikely to appeal to anyone. NOTE: This is a downloader for the game.
