Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons
Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons may not be the greatest nonogram puzzler available on the Switch, but this is certainly another worthwhile and enjoyable entry in the genre—especially for fans who also love a good farm sim. This is ultimately little more than a nonogram puzzle pack themed after Story of Seasons, but really it doesn’t need to be anything else, even if it would be interesting to see how farm sim gameplay elements could be more directly integrated into the gameplay. As long as you’re not too bothered by a game experience that feels a little less polished than the Picross series, Piczle Cross: Story of Seasons is an easy recommendation to any puzzle enthusiasts out there.

“Overall, I am happy with this game because the puzzles and features are great and it runs well on Steam Deck, but the previous Piczle Cross adventure game set my expectations so high that I was disappointed in the lack of story and adventure elements, and I think it would've been so cool to be able to interact with the farm ourselves.”
“People with practice won’t be challenged and there is no story like in Piczle Cross Adventure.”
