    A fresh graphical look makes the Picross experience more interesting but the anime tie-in isn't newbie friendly.

    Combining picross with a relatively obscure anime (and not even using the anime’s name in the title) is a weird choice, but if you’re looking for more picross, you can’t go wrong here. The quality-of-life improvements are good, the Color Picross mode is fun, and having a little bit of story is a nice change of pace, even if the plot doesn’t have much to it.

    really liked it. playwise I couldn't see much differences from the "normal" picross games. except random pictures you get to solve forreally liked it. playwise I couldn't see much differences from the "normal" picross games. except random pictures you get to solve for pictures related to the anime and you get to be told a bit of the story of the anime every time you finish a section. made me curious enough to watch it and surprisingly liked it far more than I expected. which in turn made the game more fun to play.

If you have not watched the anime, it is still a Picross game, so what are you waiting for? Full Review »
