    Picross S5 is about what I expected, more of the first five games. Picross is my favorite type of puzzles, so I am pleased with what I got. There are four different types of Picross, the standard Picross, Mega Picross with numbers that stretch over two rows/columns, Clip Picross with a lot of small puzzles that result in one huge Image, and Color Picross, the same but with three differentPicross S5 is about what I expected, more of the first five games.

It might be a bit expensive for Picross Newcomers at 10€, but its definitely worth it if you see it on sale. Expand

    Just like its predecessors, it contains 485 puzzles to solve, most of which are unique in the entire series. No changes from Picross S4, but that doesn't make the game bad. 9/10

    Picross S5 is a simple title much like its predecessors. However, there is a certain charm to the experience, allowing for a relaxing journey for new and experienced players alike. Different modes and help settings offer the possibility to tailor the game to personal enjoyment, making this another great entry that can satisfy puzzle-lovers.

    Picross S5 is another solid entry in Jupiter’s Picross series. With 485 puzzles across a few different styles, it’s filled with a lot of great, engaging content. It still has the same old issues, chiefly no touch screen controls, but the novelty of the co-op and the new tweaks like higher contrast colors are good accessibility inclusions. Whether you’re a first-time Picross player or a weary nonogram veteran, Picross S5 is great.

    Picross S5 is definitely a case of ‘more of the same’ which for fans will be music to their ears. What it lacks in ambition it makes up for with hundreds more addictive puzzles ideal for passing those winter hours away.
