  • Unique twist on the Picross formula with three layers of color puzzles that enhance the challenge and satisfaction of completing images.
  • Well-designed interface and controls that allow for smooth gameplay, making it accessible for both newcomers and experienced players.
  • A large collection of puzzles that provide hours of engaging gameplay, with a relaxing soundtrack that complements the puzzle-solving experience.
  • Some puzzles are not fully logic solvable, requiring guesswork which detracts from the core logic puzzle experience.
  • The color saturation can be overly vibrant, making it difficult for some players to distinguish between shades, and the font used is hard to read.
  • The game lacks sufficient DLC content and additional puzzle packs, leaving players wanting more after completing the base game.
  • music
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, described as catchy, relaxing, and easy on the ears, making it a suitable backdrop for puzzle-solving. While some critiques mention a lack of variety and depth, the overall consensus is that the music complements the gameplay effectively without being distracting.

    • “While there is only one music track while solving puzzles, it succeeds in being catchy and relaxing without being distracting or too repetitive.”
    • “It's a great complement to other picross games, and the music is very chill.”
    • “Fun way to waste a little time, and the music is well-crafted and relaxing.”
    • “A lot of puzzles pose themselves as stylistically slick, being just lazy and empty, with stupid music and reverbed/washed out everything.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay features innovative three-layer dual-tone puzzles with unique mechanics that require strategic deductions, enhancing the traditional nonogram experience. Players appreciate the rewarding images and creative designs, as each layer contributes meaningfully to the final artwork. The mechanics are easy to learn, providing a wide range of challenging puzzles that promise hours of engaging gameplay.

    • “Mechanics are simple to pick up quickly, and the breadth of challenging images and puzzles you can unlock will leave you with hours to play!”
    • “Mechanically, you're solving three unrelated nonograms whose artwork just happens to get overlaid.”
    • “Not only are the images more rewarding in the end (and some of the images themselves were really creative ideas, I love skateboard vampire), because you feel like each layer actually contributed to the image as opposed to it just coloring itself, the dark/light color mechanic gives you slightly different clues than usual nonograms.”
    • “This brings unique mechanics (same-color sequences must have spaces between as usual but different colors may follow each other with no spaces) as well as unique deductions (like 'I need a light red block somewhere on this vertical line, but several horizontal lines only contain dark red blocks so it can't be on the intersections with them' - although much more complex than that later).”

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in [i]depixtion[/i] are praised for their unique visuals that enhance the picross-style gameplay, featuring distinct artwork that is creatively overlaid across the puzzles. This artistic approach sets it apart from other games in the genre, contributing to a visually engaging experience.

    • “Depixtion is yet another stellar entry in Steam’s ever-growing list of picross-style games, one that stands out with its unique visuals and puzzle structures.”
    • “The graphics are beautifully crafted, enhancing the overall experience of solving the puzzles.”
    • “The vibrant colors and intricate designs make each puzzle a visual delight.”
    • “Mechanically, you're solving three unrelated nonograms whose artwork just happens to get overlaid.”
  • grinding
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that while there are a few grindy puzzles in the middle of the game, which can lead to confusion due to misleading labels, the overall experience remains enjoyable and engaging.

    • “While some snags come along the way, a couple of puzzles toward the middle are somewhat grindy, and some puzzles accidentally leave you with the wrong solution because the labeled numbers give you a different solution than intended.”
