Picross S Review
Picross S is a fully recommended title for anyone who doesn't own a Nintendo 3DS after some puzzling action to play on the go, which is the preferred way to play this type of game. Whilst lacking the superior touch controls of the 3DS versions, this one does add an array of great assist options and throws a multiplayer twist into the format. Compared to what the long-running Picross e games provide, though, offering just two modes and Mega Picross being slightly adjusted Picross puzzles is unfortunate. For the budget price, 300 puzzles is excellent value, especially if this is one of your first dabbles into the series, but there is no question that more could have been added here. If you have a 3DS, it would be better to stick to the Picross fun on that system.

If you remain a committed 3DS gamer – and there’s every reason to be – I would suggest looking at some of Jupiter’s cheaper Picross titles available via the Nintendo eShop. If not, Picross S continues the studio’s good run of engaging puzzlers with a wealth of content and visual finesse that is underpinned by timeless gameplay. Keep ‘em coming.
