Mosaic of the Strange

The puzzle mechanic is really solid and fun, and never felt frustrating. You can have a hint if you're ever stuck and there is no penalty to this. I also really enjoyed the various cases about paranormal and real life mysteries. I even looked a few of them because they intrigued me so much. The story itself unfolded nicely and the final showdown was surprisingly flashy. Will be looking at more of the mosaic games for sure

this is the fifth mosaic game ive played and the fifth one to come out. mosaic of the strange introduces a lot of new elements to the series, like a story, locations, difficulties, coded puzzles, and a "finale." some of these i really appreciated (the difficulty choices were great to have, and the finale n coded puzzles were a fun mix up), but i didnt care for the rest of the new elements. the locations staggers the puzzle regions (vs the one massive picture that the other entries had), which often made it harder to spot which regions i was missing since it often didnt color in once you completed it. the story is There more than anything. you get new dialogue for each region, but youre not really solving a mystery as much as you're just watching two detectives talk until you unlock the region that ends the game. i just skipped through the dialogue. its not a knock against the game and some people might enjoy it, but just not for me. the puzzles themselves are fun, and like i said i really enjoyed when they mix up the puzzle formula. unfortunately it doesnt happen very often. overall id recommend this one if youre a fan of the other mosaic entries since the core puzzles are the same. if youve never played a mosaic game before though, you should probably pick another one first.

After many hours, I have finally completed the last game in Mark Ffrench's catalogue of games. I think this is my favorite (Or at least in my top 2). A stark departure from their previous games in the fact that it is not a singular giant puzzle, rather, there are multiple locations, where you steadily make progress unlocking more puzzles as you complete key items/decorations scattered around the various settings. The hardest difficulty was a fair challenge. I struggled a lot, but grew to have it feel like second nature. Giving the game a story was a nice change, and the having it themed around the occult is also cool. I'd recommend either downloading the demo, or trying out the other free games in their library to see if this kind of game clicks with you. Overall, I look forward to the next game they make.

我是沒想到我在一個填圖遊戲花了225小時...... 對於玩過所有前作的我 玩之前:填圖!簡單!(選特別探員難度) 玩之後:提示什麼時候才會好啊啊啊~~~ 系列作第五作，特別探員難度是真的難 即使有教你邏輯定式，仍要十分專注才能找到破口 因此我有相當的時間都在等提示亮起 雖然有很大一部分是因為自己頭鐵不肯降難度 量大管飽，但是那個推理劇情有跟沒有一樣，牽扯到超自然力量就別說是推理案件了 遊戲最後還有限時驚喜 但下次還是別搞劇情好了

Adding in a difficulty option is superb. This is probably not the first of these you should play, however. I would say it's more complex in a way that requires "pre-reading" on the particular genre. Story was goofy and fun, and I enjoyed the various pixel art rewards for completing things, as well as the doofy story for each piece. Good stuff! :)

Excellent comme tous les autres opus avec en plus une jolie histoire
