The game is as good as any other in the Mosaic series. However, I’m tired of programmers and studios who decide to shove their political ideology down our throats. You like playing politics? Do it in its damn place. You want to make a game to preach your preferred ideology? Fine, but it ruins the experience for a lot of people. It’s unbelievable that I’m just marking little squares and suddenly I get a news pop‑up that basically says Charlie Kirk was the devil and there were plenty of reasons to kill him. It’s a disgrace that there are developers like this.
Juego puzzle estilo buscaminas donde vas completando segmentos de un gran mosaico y se reflejan grandes acontecimientos del año.

neat big puzzle, but yeah I guess might be upsetting if you are completely disconnected from reality

This game is a really good time killer, especially considering that it's free and takes a good amount of time to complete (I still haven't finished it). It's factual to what happened in 2025, though some of the articles feel outdated for information that we know now, which is to be expected. Would highly recommend though if you are looking for a good minesweeper-style game.
I picked this up after seeing the dev's other game, Proverbs, and thinking it looked fun and wanting to try something else out by them before buying it, and wow I can't believe this is a free game. I'm not even 20% finished and I've already clocked about 6 hours into it. While the game does play more like Minesweeper, it definitely has that Picross feeling of learning the logic behind how rules interact with each other and being able to beat puzzles faster after picking up on it.
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.
too much american politics its depressing and some things shouldnt be on there

※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…
