    This is a gem of a puzzle game with an incredible amount of content for the price. It is a simple game where you draw coloured lines between numbered points and try to fit everything together until a pixel art image is created. It is an excellent time waster just don't expect it to do anything else.

    The story mode is short and the puzzle difficulty increases gradually letting you learn the game without any issues but the real depth is in the puzzle mode which has received several free expansions and offers hours of content at no extra cost.

    The pixel art is well done and, thanks to the scale (up to 128x128), more detailed than the likes of Picross S.    … Expand

    Una gran adquisición para la nintendo Switch, dado que es un juego de puzzles con un diseño de niveles muy bien elaborado, lo cual lo hace extramadamente entretenido.

    Neat and polished. Nothing wrong with gameplay as it works very smooth. It was only good for a few hours then I got a little bored. I like the graphics and fun look.

    I enjoy playing through puzzle games in general, but this one failed to hold my attention for very long. The variation between puzzles is pretty low, and it gets boring very quickly.

    This game is currently my 6 most played game on Nintendo Switch. There's so many puzzles.

    A really fun game! It's not the kind of puzzle where you can use logic to find the answer always, so you are going to have to use your gut and trial-and-error some segments. That being said, it's still a game with lots of puzzles for your money (with both a story mode that ramps you up slowly or side puzzles you can play from the get-go.) None of the background music is grating, the art isA really fun game!

    Piczle Lines DX is rewarding, charming, and a great game to wind down with if you want your brain to settle or you can't sleep.

    Piczle Lines DX isn't a bad game. In fact, it does what it wants to do almost perfectly. There are a ton of puzzles here to solve, from the small bite-sized ones that can be solved in minutes to big, sprawling challenges that can take hours. Unfortunately, it is simply that the underlying concept here simply is not that interesting. This is a boring kind of puzzler, and feels a bit like putting together an actual puzzle over and over… and over again. There is probably a niche for this, a certain kind of puzzle enthusiast that likes these slower, more plodding experiences. A vast majority of gamers, however, are going to lose interest fast because it only really has one trick that it does repeatedly. Piczle Lines DX is a perfectly adequate experience.

    Piczle Lines DX brings a fun and challenging concept to the puzzle game genre and resembles a crossover between Picross and Sudoku. It does a good use of the Nintendo Switch capabilities, namely of its touch screen but it could use more game modes for its price and it would benefit from a multiplayer mode.
