TL;DR

9/10: Niche casual game in which the player colorizes 140 cute pixel pictures with a paint by the numbers mechanic. A point was docked because the player is only credited with achievements for colorizing the first one hundred pictures.

Overview

If you saw the name Colorizing and immediately assumed that the game involves adding color to pictures, you are correct. (You already read it in the TL;DR section!) The mechanic is paint by the numbers, and there are one hundred forty pictures in all. The player fully colorizes a picture, earns an achievement (for the first one hundred pictures at the time of the writing of this review) and moves onto the next picture.

Graphics and Sound

The graphics are ever so basic, yet the images that need to be colored in are aesthetically pleasing before and after the pictures are colored in.

The sounds are limited and even more basic than the pictures that need to be colored in, but the ambient background music perfectly fits the mood. But the music may fit the mood a little too well, because the music and gameplay may make the player sleepy if Colorizing isn't the player's cup of tea.

Positives and Negatives

This game is the perfect gift for your achievement-loving friends, and the images are all family friendly, so the player gets the same (large) amount of achievements associated with, let's say, an anime tiddy puzzle game, only with perfectly safe graphics.

Personal preferences aside, there's bound to be other players out there that are disappointed that Colorizing only grants achievements for the first one hundred pictures. Why, oh why? Anyone who plays Colorizing is obviously a completionist who's out to sweep all of the achievements.

Conclusion

Ol' Il Pallino apologizes if the information in this review is lacking. What else can be said about a game with such limited playing characteristics and the only variety being the pictures?

The honest word of Il Pallino... OR ELSE!
