"Mosaic is a movie that you play; meaning it has no complex gameplay, but has managed to make an otherwise cliché narrative, interesting. Despite the fact that its message is nothing new, it is valuable enough to hear it again. …"

"Mosaic is a walking simulator and very tedious at that. Every day you need to lead pathetic human being from his home to work and watch as he marvels at simplest of joys. It&s;s barely a game at all."
