Nov 22, 2017I'm a huge fan of the serie, i started playing it on SNES.
The Switch version looks nice but the game suffers by its lack of content. Only 150 puzzles and i'm pretty sure they are already used from older versions of Picross. Anyway it's great to have a Switch Version of Picross. I would love have now a Picross 3D on my Switch -
Oct 14, 2017While it can’t match it for character or charm, Picross S joins Piczle Lines DX as a super competent Switch puzzler that is sure to please Picross and regular puzzle fans alike. With that in mind, I can give Jupiter’s Switch debut a solid recommendation. Just don’t go in expecting it to blow your socks off in the same way the DS games did.

Nov 2, 2017Picross. No more, no less.
It has plenty of puzzles, even if designs are the same for both gameplay modes, it will take you 10+ hours to complete all of them. More modes or variation would be welcomed.
Why they didn't add touch controls is beyond me. -

Oct 14, 2017While Picross has always been a good game (series), Picross S, the first entry on the Switch, is one of the worst games of the series. Having even less features then the original Picross e for 3DS, it has only Mega-Picross and normal Picross mode. Definitely worth checking out Picross e1-e7 on the 3DS first, plus Picross 3D and Picross 3D Round 2 before getting this.

Jun 26, 2018I think there are many elements reused, and it is a game that I rather enjoy with mobile.

Jan 19, 2021The game interface is very clean and intuitive and the tools available and efficient. The music is still repetitive. The content is not huge but acceptable. It is a good game but not revolutionary in its kind.

Jan 29, 2018Picross S is a fully recommended title for anyone who doesn't own a Nintendo 3DS after some puzzling action to play on the go, which is the preferred way to play this type of game. Whilst lacking the superior touch controls of the 3DS versions, this one does add an array of great assist options and throws a multiplayer twist into the format. Compared to what the long-running Picross e games provide, though, offering just two modes and Mega Picross being slightly adjusted Picross puzzles is unfortunate. For the budget price, 300 puzzles is excellent value, especially if this is one of your first dabbles into the series, but there is no question that more could have been added here. If you have a 3DS, it would be better to stick to the Picross fun on that system.

Nov 17, 2017If you're looking for a good puzzle game for your Switch, this should definitely be your first stop. Most of the puzzles are bite-sized and easy to stop when you're on the go, but it's also meaty with so many puzzles (over 150 and double that if you count the Megas) that it can easily eat up hours of your time. While I miss the simplicity of the touch controls, it's a small quibble when there's still so much to be enjoyed from this game.

Oct 31, 2017Picross S still manages to entertain with the ultra solid nonogram formula, but overall it feels like a lazy project for newcomers that will probably disappoint the old fans of the franchise.
