Mosaics Galore. Challenging journey is a basic mobile-app like jigsaw/mosaic puzzle game. Solve various puzzles by placing stained glass window/mosaic pieces onto an existing picture (picture stolen off the internet and used without crediting the copyright holder). It's been done a million times before, for free, and free on mobile app stores too... yet this one has a hefty price tag on it. Who knew you can just charge $5 for mobile trash? I guess Creobit/8Floor does.
An example of the stolen artwork in this asset flip is "Chestnuts" stolen and used without any apparent permission from the photographer, "Matin", via Shutterstock. Now, the site may permit this copyrighted work to be used in the manner that has been done here, but that's not apparent from the way this has been used. Furthermore, 8floor did not credit the work of the copyright holder who created the image. So at best, this is morally bankrupt and highly unethical plagiarism, and at worse, copyright infringment. But 8Floor have done this literally hundreds, if not thousands of times. This is harmful to content creators, copyright holders, and to gamers... which is why I recommend against anyone buying products from such unethical asset flippers.
The asset flipper/"developer", Creobit/8Floor, has copy + pasted this game SIXTEEN TIMES onto Steam with minor reskins, often using stolen artwork... why cash in on one asset if you can cash in on multiple copies of the same game? Asset flipping begins at home! Here's a list of Creobit's copy + pastes of this asset:
- Alice's Jigsaw Time Travel
- Alice's Jigsaw. Wonderland Chronicles
- Alice's Jigsaw. Wonderland Chronicles 2
- Alice's Patchwork
- Alice's Patchworks 2
- Christmas Patchwork Frozen
- Fairytale Mosaics Beauty and Beast
- Fairytale Mosaics Cinderella
- Holiday Mosaics Christmas Puzzles
- Holiday Mosaics Halloween Puzzles
- Mosaics Galore 1 + 2
- Mosaics Galore. Challenging journey
- Mosaics Galore. Glorious Journey
- Pirate Mosaic Puzzle. Caribbean Treasures
[*] Thanksgiving Day Mosaic
These are all reskins of exactly the same game! What value is there in this spam/pollution glutting the Steam store for gamers?
From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics.
The game features simple, cartoony 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low effort mobile apps. 3D graphics programming does require a degree of skill and competence and unfortunately not all developers have the budget or talent to deliver this, despite 3D graphics cards hitting the mainstream in the 1990's. Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.
The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio (although they put "wings", flat textures, on the pillars). It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming.
The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just iPhone screen tapping stuff. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here.
This looks and feels like a mobile app, but I wasn't able to find it on the app stores. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all).
Regardless, for all intents and purposes Knight Solitaire might as well be a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones and play games that might as well be mobile apps.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
The poor quality of this asset flip is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 4 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
Mosaics Galore. Challenging journey has the total ripoff price of around $5, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. Because this is the kind of game you can just play for free on mobile phones, it's impossible to recommend anyone should pay money for the same experience on Steam.
So first off, the developer has said in the forms that they no longer support this game. So it's straight up abandoned. With that being said, there are two in game achievements that are impossible get. So you'll never be able to complete this game if that's the sort of thing that bothers you.
As for game play - it's fine; there's nothing wrong with it. It's the same as all the other games of it's type. The images aren't as good; they're stock photos and some of them have a weird filter over them. All of that is a non issue compared to the lack of support and uncompletable achievements.
Don't buy, even if on sale.
Great pictures.
It's relaxing to play through the puzzles. The pieces adhere to your cursor when clicked and there is the option of relaxed mode (no timer).
As far as it being a "challenging journey" - I didn't find this any more challenging than any of the other mosaic games in this series. Some of the mosaics just have more (and sometimes smaller) pieces.
I don't know anything about the achievements because I don't play those in my games usually. I wrote a more detailed review earlier but forgot to post it. So I'm sorry this is short. It is perfect. I've played all the other puzzle games here so far and it is the perfect one in every single way. I'm really enjoying it more than them! I don't know why it says Challenging unless it is in the timed mode. In relaxed it is easy. My one complaint is that it is too short! I don't know why the other ones' are not done correctly as this one is. I would love a Part Two! Thank you so much for doing this game Right.
This is a bit like a Facebook or app game. The goal is to rearrange and complete pictures in the allotted time without trying to put pieces in the wrong place. It is a simple and interesting game.
Worth a purchase.
I am recommending this game but only if you buy it for a very low price. I paid .49 USD and that is what it was worth. If you liked the other games in the series because of their use of various materials that made up the beautiful mosaics then you will be disappointed because this is not the same. It isn't even mosaics but just jigsaw puzzles of photographs. They are much easier to put together because they are photographs so the secondary title "Challenging Journey" is a misnomer. The mechanics of the game are the same as the previous titles and, at this time, there are achievements in game but not in Steam. So if you like to put together puzzles and you have run out of games on Steam and the game is on sale then, yeah, I recommend it.
Edited to add: you can't get all the achievements b/c the company just copied them from the previous game which had 6 locations but this game only has 5. So you can't get the achievement for the non existent 6th location nor the "all achievements" one. I still recommend the game but it sucks that they were so sloppy in their execution of this game.
Ouch. No trace of the exquisite handcrafted patchworks of "Mosaics Galore", "Alice's Patchwork 1,2" and "Pirate Mosaic Puzzle: Caribbean Treasures".
I've played to level 40 and I only encountered very low-resolution collages made of badly-photoshopped photo clippings, most of them quite ugly.
A huge disappointement, even for its very small price. Play the other titles instead.
There's a game-breaking bug at lvl 89.
But it's also boring, uninspired and dull.
Forget about this one and better get one of the other titles of this Mosaics-series.
If you liked the first two games don't bother with this one, it's just a shameless cashgrab, the aesthetics of the first 2 games is compleatly missing, they've just used stockphotos run through a photoshop filter, then randomly cut them into chunks and just thrown together into random catogary's. What a random photo of two buskers or the photo of a box and scrolls has to do with the 'flower garden' area is beyond me....
I could do the same for free with my holidayphotos a printer and a pair of scissors. :(
