Travel Mosaics 6: Christmas Around the World

After 16 hours in... I am proud to say that... I AM DONE!!! It was most certainly an effort. Phew! Now then. This game seems to be beginner friendly for people who aren't good at Nonograms. (THANK GOODNESS!!!) There are three modes: Easy / Normal / Hard. I gotta say... Even if I DID play on Normal... I still couldn't solve two certain puzzles lol. Thankfully they let you switch to Easy if needed. ^-^ There are also Power Ups to help ya out. They DO recharge by themselves over time too! Apart from buying decorations, don't forget to level the Power Ups first... Don't be like me and just miss those on the left side of the screen. >.>............... And If Nonograms aren't enough? They also have a "Bonus Nonogram"... Which tend to be harder and a "Puzzle"... Which tend to be Jigsaw-like... Only in square-cuts though. Okay seriously. I literally explained almost *everything* to you in this review. Go and have some fun!~

If you like solving nonograms casually, this game is for you. All nonograms' pictures are related to Xmas and winter. Instead of being classic black and white, every level have few layers of different colors, so the final pictures are whole colorful. For those who begin with nonogreams, the game offers some bonuses that can be used to reveal unknown cells. As solving normal nonograms on paper does not forgive mistakes and filling one cell wrongly usually means throwing out whole puzzle, here we have few chances to being forgiven before our puzzle is reset. Solving a level faultlessly is rewarded with three stars and a bunch of coins which can be used to buy christmas decorations. After solving every few levels a bonus one is being unlocked. There is always some messed up picture to be put back together, but every time a mechanics to do it is slightly different. The game as a whole is very good. It is rather not a thing to solve all levels in one sitting, but something to play once per time to relax.

It's a picross game. So chances are you will have some fun if you enjoy this kind of game. If not, probably not. However, I didn't really got into this one. The pictures are very blocky and simply don't look too rewarding. A few times I was stumped at what it even was supposed to display. The difficulty is a bit over the place with some taking a good amount of thinking and jumping between colour while others are very straight forward and little more than filling in the boxes. My main gripes are the colours. Having three different shades of the same colour can get a bit difficult to distinguish between. Not too bad, but there are better picross games out there and on Steam.

I played "Travel Mosaics 10: Spooky Halloween" by the same dev and this one is just a Christmas version of it. Luckily, this time the images were all Christmas related, unlike the Halloween one where i felt a lot of images weren't Halloween/Monster/Horror themed. Unfortunately, just like the Halloween one, the difficulty level in this one also doesn't really go up. When you go through the game the maps don't get bigger or more difficult, which can make it kind of stale. If anything, i felt that some of the later maps were way easier than the beginning ones. So that was a downer imo. But otherwise a fun puzzle game that's really cheap! There are also lot of levels, 3 different difficulty settings, and there's 4 tools that charge throughout the levels that can help you etc. And to add: all achievements worked for me!

[h3] Good casual Christmas puzzles [/h3] Optional difficulty settings. The mosaic pictures could have been better. Sometimes they were unidentifiable. 20 levels to complete. Each level = 6 mosaic puzzles + 1 bonus + 1 jigsaw I enjoyed learning interesting Christmas & New Year traditions from around the world.

Fun casual puzzle game.
