Basic puzzles are a bit too easy as the pixel art from actual games lends to more specific forms. The color was a blast and clip is a fun diversion. As like last time, just don’t click with mega.
Probably my favorite Picross game to this date, solving puzzles while listening to tunes from Out Run, Fantasy Zone, Alex Kidd, and Space Harrier was delightful, and the fact that they chose Columns out of all possible games to pay a big homage to was great for me, the rare Columns fan.
Picross S is one of the best Switch-exclusive series, and the Genesis & Master system version is fantastic. Great music that matches the tone of the game well. Plenty of modes and 500 puzzles to get lost in. The only thing that holds it back is the sense they could have done more, offered a wider variety of pictures or even broken out of the standard picross formula a bit and tried something new. Still, you can't fault it for being a fantastic way to play picross and a great game to travel with.
For the number of properties available in the Sega library, there were a surprising number of repeat images if not puzzles
Good picross, not a fan of mega picross but coloured gives a solid challenge.
Another great Picross entry, and I just realized I haven't played that many Sega games not named Sonic. The music is really nice.
I love Picross games, especially when they're themed (like the Twilight Princess and Pokemon ones on 3DS). Even though I didn't get a lot of the references as I'm not an experienced SEGA or Master System player, it was still a fun puzzle game and still cool to see the references I did understand as they popped up.
