Fill-a-Pix: Phil's Epic Adventure

Fill-a-Pix: Phil’s Epic Adventure (Switch eShop)

In conclusion, Fill-a-Pix just didn’t cut it for me. While it’s nice to have a different change of pace from Lightwood after a lot of Word Search and Picross games in recent years, Fill-a-Pix reminds me a bit of the dreaded Nikoli puzzle game Slitherlink, in that it’s so damn complicated even with all the tutorials and such that it’s a bore to actually solve. Considering that you can fill the entire page with squares and have the auto-corrector solve the puzzle for you, (despite the obvious penalty you do get from it, not being able to get a gold medal this way) along with the odd nature of the stage select, I don’t feel that this manages to be as accessible as Sudoku or Picross, which is odd when this is considered a mashup of both. This is definitely the Switch picture puzzle game to skip, unless you think Picross is too easy and want something truly difficult. It ain’t a poorly made game, but it’s one that will take a lot of trial and error to figure out.

A Picross-esque game that is too long-winded and not as rewarding.
