Honestly, Mike Sklens’ of Picross e is entirely applicable here, save for a few differences. Here’s a summary: this is a well done, if low-frills version of Picross that makes nearly no use of the hardware capabilities of the 3DS. The music and presentation are inoffensive and unremarkable. There are a large number of puzzles, over 200 in total, but at least a third of those will be far too easy for all but the most novice Picross player. There is a stylus control option that works well enough to allow for expert, speed-run play, although it is a little too easy to make mistakes on the large 15x15 grid (even on the 3DS XL). If you’ve played Picross e, you’ll know exactly what I mean.

The one new feature of the game is Micross mode, in which several 10x10 grid puzzles are stitched together to form an 8x8 meta-puzzle. It sounds more interesting than it is; you are just solving one easy 8x8 puzzle and several easy 10x10 puzzles. When you complete all of the 10x10 sub-puzzles, you reveal a Picross-style replica of a famous work of art. It’s not very interesting, although I had fun trying to guess what each painting was before I completed it. This mode features a different background song than the one that plays during puzzles, but you’ll probably turn it off after five or ten minutes.So this game feels like a level pack, but if you’re a Picross fan, does it really matter?

I suspect not, though you may be disappointed by the relatively few truly challenging puzzles. If you are interested in giving Picross a try for the first time, you will be better off purchasing the Game Boy version on the 3DS Virtual Console.
