    Compared to Picross S, it's definitely more of the same, but that's a great thing! The only thing that Picross S2 really adds over Picross S is the Clip Picross mode, but there are also 300 new Picross and Mega Picross puzzles. It really doesn't need to add much because Picross S is already a great game, and after finishing it, you'll probably be hunger for more Picross puzzles.

    As someone who enjoys logic puzzles, I find this game to be a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. If you also enjoy logic puzzles, you should definitely pick this up. However, if you haven't enjoyed logic puzzles in the past, I doubt this game will change that for you. If you're unsure, you might as well try the demo for Picross S4 first, as that will give you a good idea of what to expect from pretty much every game in the series.

    I do recommend starting with Picross S, but it doesn't really matter that much. My main reasoning is that each new installment adds a little extra content or a new mode, and you'll probably enjoy the more simplistic Picross S if you play that before something like Picross S4, which has color picross added in. Again, the fact that future games add more content does not mean that this is a bad game. It's still very enjoyable and well worth the money. One could easily approach 100 hours of gameplay for only $9. That's quite a deal, in my book!    … Expand

    More picross action. It’s a puzzle game, it’s well executed, controls do what they need to do.

    Picross S2 is a relaxing game that offers some variety in its gameplay to stay interesting enough. It is surprisingly addictive, yet it also lacks some features that could improve its levels of variety. Its price currently seems a little too high for what is offered.

    Picross S2 perfectly encapsulates the alluring one more go feeling that so many like-minded puzzle games aspire for, and does so with such masterful implementation. Jupiter show they are still the master of their craft, as they have always been in their 25 years of releasing Picross titles across Nintendo's hardware.

    Jupiter has delivered another satisfying slice of Picross bliss. While Picross S2 might be just more of the same, its hard to imagine a way in which the developer could shake things up without ruining what makes the puzzler so addictive in the first place. If you’re hungry for more Picross or just a new puzzler in general then Picross S2 is a safe recommendation, albeit a rather predictable one.
