Harmony’s Odyssey Switch NSP Free Download Romslab I find digital jigsaws far more relaxing than real life ones and that’s because you can often find some cheeky quality of life improvements that help make the experience quicker, easier and more satisfying. Add in video gaming charm and effects and you can find yourself a neat sub genre that’s designed to relax and unwind your brain. Harmony’s Odyssey provides you with cute diorama’s that have been cut into squares and scrambled up. It is up to you to piece them back together again. First and foremost Harmony’s Odyssey is calming puzzle game. There are no time limits, move limits or particularly difficult puzzles like a giant can of beans to put together.

The world that each diorama provides is often full of life, colour, objects and key things to look out for. This means you can quite easily join things up together. Think a pond cut up into quarters so you can easily group them together. Where the game then really excels is in the movement of pieces. You can just swap two around by selecting them but you can also press a button to then pick up all the co-joined squares and move them around the board together. This makes shifting blocks of 2, 4 or 6 so much quicker and easier. The other thing I used often was the ability to highlight what objects were in the right place.

Over 100 dioramic puzzles filled with fantastic creatures and magic

One of the few criticisms I have of the level design is that some of the walls look practically identical so by highlighting what’s already in the right place, you can swap blank walls around with ease. That level design quirk aside, the dioramas are well designed. They usually have something taking place in them so as you piece them back together it all comes to life. They start off as small town or street scenes but later levels switch this up. Some are purely vertical like a cross section of a building or a busy set of shelves in a kitchen. My favourite were levels that contained multiple floors. As you built each one up it gave extra satisfaction to see a building grow and come to life before you. Escape from Chernobyl Switch

Add on the visual charm, a cute cartoonish soundtrack and responsive controls and you have an easy winner. Harmony’s Odyssey is an awesome-looking puzzle game. 80% of the puzzles are dioramas in which you have to move blocks to the right position. You start with a few 2D puzzles but very soon they will be 3D puzzles, which look amazing. And a lot of the time after you finish a part of the puzzle things will start to move around, to make it even more magical. As an example, there is a level in the snow where the Ski will start working the moment you finish that part of the puzzle.

Challenging yet accessible gameplay mechanics

There are also some other different puzzle levels, finding the difference between 2 pictures for example. Or look for 15 seconds at a picture and then the curtains close, open and you have to point out what is different. There are also a few action puzzles where you have to move to certain objectives on the map without getting hit. Harmony’s Odyssey didn’t have a resolution that fit my screen (3440 x 1440) but it was no problem to play it in window mode and enjoy the game. Most of the achievements are very straightforward. You’ll have to play the campaign on the hardest difficulty for one of the achievements. I would recommend just doing this from the start so you only have to play those levels 1 time.

If you didn’t do that, you can go back and you can also see on which difficulty you have completed them. Some levels are quite hard to finish on the hardest difficulty. For me, those were the levels where you have to find the difference and the action levels. On the hardest difficulty, you’re not allowed to click on the wrong item in those puzzles or have a short amount of time to complete a level. It still is very doable, but some levels might need some tries before you get them. You can get 2 hints in every level, so I used those in the levels with finding the difference in case I couldn’t find the last 2. Another tip I would give is not to buy magic wands or music in the collection menu as you’ll already need most of the stars for the 2D puzzles to unlock the achievement for finishing all the puzzles.

Magical treasures to unlock and enhance your experience

I got the achievement for the hardest difficulty just after finishing the campaign, which allowed me to play the other puzzles on an easier difficulty. Outside of the main story there are some short mini game variants. These are more like hidden object or spot the difference type games with a few slider styled puzzles in for good measure. Unlockable bonus levels are more jigsaw like as they are 2D photos or concept art to play with. They all work but the real joy comes from the 3D dioramas. Harmony’s Odyssey is just a feel good time. Don’t expect difficult challenges but do expect a nice time for a few hours with comic mischief underpinning some satisfying sorting out.
