"It may be my inner-hipster talking but I found Mosaic to be a phenomenal anti-game. Even though it&s;s a tough pill to swallow, the journey within is full of stunning visuals and some of the best audio production that I&s;ve …"
Read original review"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, a game about loneliness, redundancy and the tormenting bleakness of everyday life that makes us akin to robots repeating pre-programmed tasks to keep society working. This is not meant to be too harsh (or too kind) but Mosaic on …"
