    Picross S3 definitely improved since its predecessor Picross S2. Especially the newly added colour picross mode is a lot of fun to play and makes a real difference in the gameplay experience. This entry offers more variability, making it easier to play longer and harder to get bored. However, it still has a variety of flaws that could be tended to in the future.

    Even if it doesn't add touch screen feature and seems to lack some real novelty, Picross S3 offers dozens of new images to discover with a principle that can kill every minute of your spare time without you noticing it. It's a fair entry entry in the series with a fun new mode, Color Picross, that sadly feels very short with only 30 puzzles.

    I feel like video games are loud, and getting increasingly louder. And if you want to play something that isn’t constantly yelling at you about how many dang side quests you have left to do, consider Picross as the antidote to gameplay anxiety — the puzzle equivalent of one of those lofi chill beats for depression YouTube compilations.

    The presentation is excellent but Picross S3 contains waaaay too many easy beginner-style puzzles.
