Fantasy Mosaics 19: Edge of the World Reviews

ok

Unremarkable if you've played the others, but closer to zero instances of having to guess from the picture rather than using logic to eliminate guessing.

"Fantasy Mosaics 19: Edge of the World" is another fine entry in the "Fantasy Mosaics" line of nonagrams. Once again, there are no surprises here. The game plays exactly like its predecessors (all of which are great). It took me a relaxing 9.4 hours to finish all 100 levels (4 rows of 5 menu groups, with each group having 5 puzzles). So, even at its list price of almost $7, it's worth it. But, as usual, wait for a sale (and buy the "Mega Pack" for an even better deal).

If you're quite familiar with my reviews of this series, you already know that nothing new is there, apart twenty levels of new drawings. So, allow me to copy paste reviews I've done, as Andy Jurko (or Match Gems) decided to finally release the rest of the series (and you already know about the fact that I would like to see the games before the 14th). Fantasy Mosaics is a series of nonograms (also known as griddlers) games released for iOS and Android before being ported on PC and Mac, though now MatchGems (or Andy Jurko, take your pick) is releasing each version the same day or just a day apart (PC and Mac are released on Big Fish Games before Steam, so, that's how I can say that). I've stumbled upon these games because I'm contributing profiles to Neoseeker and that's how my curiosity was ticked, when the games appeared on Greenlight, when Greenlight was still a thing. You have a series of numbers indicating how many tiles are used for a drawing in the column or in the line. Sometimes, it's easy as the whole line or column is concerned but at other times, it's really a matter of making your brain work: if for example, three tiles are needed and known, you know that the tiles just next to the beginning and the end can't be used for the column or the rest of the line. You have twenty levels of five nonograms to solve, though it's just to win a new item (or person or animal) for your garden. The plot isn't really the main point here as it's just explained at the beginning but then you get nothing else, not even an ending sequence. You can finish quickly the game, if you don't take the challenge of no hints and no mistakes seriously, like me. The drawings aren't really connected to each other but it's still great to discover them and to see if you managed to guess them or not. In other words, if you love that kind of gameplay, you should buy the game, though the full price can be quite discussed as I think that it should be less, given that apart new colors in the mix, you have quite the same game as in the 16th, 17th and 18th (and as I've said, at least until the 20th, as I didn't launch the 21st or the others after, who aren't released at the time of the review). Once you're hooked, you're hooked but if you're not fan of the genre, I doubt that the 19th game in the series will change your mind.
