  1. Picross DS is still the best version of the game, but for those new to Picross this is a brilliant introduction.

    Picross e is the ideal game for series newcomers to jump into, helped greatly by its always-at-hand downloaded nature, suspend features, and intuitive control schemes.

    If you're starving for some more Picross puzzles, then you can't really go wrong with Picross E. It gives you a reasonably large set of 150 new puzzles to sink your teeth into, and although they're not particularly challenging, they'll at least keep you busy for a while.

    It delivers the essential basics pretty much perfectly, and it's hard to complain much about that.

    Picross E is a cheap collection of 150 nonograms that fans will sure enjoy, but the lack of any extra or downloadable content makes the game feel a bit too much barebone.

    Beyond the sharper picture quality, there's little here that couldn't have been done on DS, though it matters little in the face of such ageless design. Picross E may not do much more than the basics, then, but sometimes that's all that is needed.

    If you've never tried before it's a good opportunity. It offers a lot of content that will keeps up playing for a long while. Might be hard to play on a standard 3DS because of the precision needed, but it's always better than playing it on paper. A good choice.

    Not as good as its DS predecessor, Picross E still provides a challenging and complete experience at a budget price, which makes it an interesting product for whoever feels like challenging his own logic skills.

    Picross e is definitely Picross, no doubt about that, but it doesn't really do anything we haven't already played numerous times before.
