    PICROSS S CAPCOM CLASSICS edition is an injection of nostalgia from a golden age of 2D games from Capcom, now in the form of logic puzzles that draw inspiration from some of its notable elements. With Jupiter's expertise on Picross games, the end result is good, though it feels like it could go an extra mile to truly showcase such a special selection of Capcom's historical products.

    Reviewing a series that barely changes and doesn’t need to is still a task that requires a lot of time even if the results are predictable, which mirrors this entry in that while predictable and even the bare minimum is still a great and lengthy experience.
