※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…
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.

Nice chill game to relax to but too politically biased and filled with propagandist terms
ゲームとしてはいぜん面白いけど 世界情勢、有名人の訃報、世間を賑わせた動物等々こんな話題あったな・・ や日本では知られてないものなどいろいろあるが たとえミーム化したとはいえ一般人の名前入りで醜聞をのせるのはいかがなものかと… と、一度疑問を持ち始めるとずっと引っかかってしまう呪いにかかってしまった いや、無料でゲームできること自体はすごいし面白いんだけど
Это вроде и сапер, а вроде и разукрашка по цифрам... Какой-то необычный гибрид
If you like these style of Minesweeper-esque puzzles, then this will give you a solid 20+ hours of enjoyment for absolutely nothing.
Not knowing something is totally fine, but it's foolish to close yourself off from learning the truth.
В 2024: Mosaic Retrospective события были значимей и русский шрифт не кривой; с цифрами 3 вместо букв Э и т.п.
По опыту первой части "2024 год" я думал, что это займёт больше времени (7/10). Советую для тех у кого много времени, чтобы потратить его впустую.
Alright, but still tedious. 2025: Mosaic Retrospective is a minesweeper-like game that focuses on filling out everything in the canvas. I've played the previous game (2024: Mosaic Retrospective), and it plays out the same as before. The only difference is that it contains events that happened in 2025. One thing that is new is that filling out a specific section is animated, which I like. I would say I enjoyed playing this game, but it is very tedious to complete. This game is not for everyone.
