※DLCは未購入でのプレイ 2024年版と何も変わらないむしろ安心感。相変わらず仮定とか2つの数字からの推測とか使う必要はないので「この数字はすでに塗ってある部分も含めれば塗れる範囲が確定する」というものを地道に探して塗りつぶしていく単純作業。とはいえフィールドが広いのもあり中々気づきにくいこともしばしば。 ピクロスとかマインスイーパーというよりウォーリーを探せをやってる気分の方が近いかもしれない。 扱っているニュースはあったなーこんなのとか国が違うからかそんなのあったのか…というものまでいろいろ。相変わらずなんか全体的に毒を感じる気がするのは気のせいだろうか…気のせいかもしれない。 とりあえず時間はつぶせるしなんか達成感もあるかもしれない。 どうもDLCだと難易度が上がって推測や2つ以上の数字からの推定が必要になるらしい。とはいえこのゲームにそれを求めるかと言うのと、個人的な感覚だと寄付を含むとはいえ少し高いかなぁ…?いやでも寄付だしなぁ…
It is good, I don´t like the way they present certain news, I am no fan of any party or political movement, so I don´t care but I don´t like the tendencious of many of it, anyway its a exellent idea to make a resume of the mayors moments of the year. Cheers to the developers

Perfekt um sich auf intelligente Weise die Zeit zu vertreiben. Keine Hektik, kein Zeitdruck, in aller Ruhe mit beliebigen Unterbrechungen die Felder füllen und dabei nebenbei Augen und Konzentrationsfähigkeit trainieren.
So addictive!
Another great game from Ffrench (& co.) great pixel art and soundtrack. 3 thumbs up
once you start, you can't stop
25 часов игры за бесплатно. Хорошая сделка. Зайти решить пару-тройку секторов, чтобы немножко отдохнуть самое оно. Многие жалуются на политику. Согласен, но большую часть таких новостей я пропускал, так как это скучно. И вас никто не заставляет их читать и тем более оставлять негативный обзор из-за этого.
比2024好玩,2025暫時沒有閃退,所以留一個讚 (2024版的實在是閃退得太過分了.....) 其他的遊戲也買了,支持一下 奇怪評價較差,原來是不了解正史的人給了差評... 真可惜
哭了,又玩完了,以後盯盤要玩甚麼
Really nice to just turn my brain off and fill in a bunch of little squares. The little facts are a nice touch to the experience, and most of the pixel art is nice to look at! This is my introduction to this developer and I'll probably check out their other tittles as well, as they all seem similar in nature.
