2024: Mosaic Retrospective

The Good
The idea behind the game is new to me but it is simple enough to grasp and it is easy to play. The music is quite good too. The graphics are simple, clear and easy on the eye plus it is easy to zoom in and out of the game area.

I picked up this game on Steam where it is free though players are asked to consider making a donation to charity. It looked like the kind of game to play between other things, for example while taking a break and having a cup of coffee.
Well I was sort of right and I was sort of wrong. It is great coffee break material but it has sort of got under my skin and I've been playing more of this than I've been playing the 'real' games I was given for Christmas. It has that "I'll just do a bit more before I stop" feeling to it.

The Bad
It started out being a so-so kind of game then it became addictive however after a while, because it is so big, it becomes a bit repetitive.

The Bottom Line
Game stats:
In the last month I have played for 37 hours,
I have, according to the game, made 27505 micro decisions, but I don't think it counts the errors that I had to re-do
I have 36 Steam achievements - there are still 56 to go and I will probably play until I get them all 'coz I don't like to leave a job half done,
According to the game I am just 54% of the way through.

I've been taking more coffee breaks to play this game and have even had the odd late night glass of wine break too.
