Now you’re probably gonna wonder to yourself: ‘whu, why are you doing a review on this game?’ And before you ask no, it’s not because I’ve run out of good ideas and games to talk about, it’s because I wanted to dedicate about 5 minutes of my time to talk about quite possibly one of the best variations and only variation I have played of a picross game.

This game wasn’t originally released in the west due to the last Mario picross game not doing too well. Eventually it would come over here (Europe) on the wii virtual console but I just played it on the switch like most people. My first session with the game started as a ‘oh I’ll play it for 10 minutes and move onto something else’. This ‘10 minute session’ turned into 30 minutes and then 60 minutes and then before I knew it I had spent 2 hours playing the game. It was just that fun I couldn’t get enough of it.

Overall, I still come back to this game often and find myself enjoying it the more I keep taking breaks and playing. Eventually I might try the other picross games but who knows.

I like picross now, spent wayyyyy too long on this game, love it to bits
