Much like its predecessor, Picross 3D: Round 2 comes late in the system’s life to provide dozens upon dozens of hours of glorious puzzle goodness. It’s a charming experience from the moment you first crack a block, and the additions and changes in Round 2 make this even better than what came before.
The smartest puzzle game ever continues with Round 2, which is even better than the first. There is a great amount of content and there is a new depth to the puzzles thanks to adding two colors. Puzzle games do not get any better than this.

Man, this game is FANTASTIC.
Perfect follow-up to the original title on the DS, which I loved a lot too, the newly introduced color system allows the player to develop a different and renovated approach to the world of 3d Picross puzzles, and has a lot of new challenges to offer.
Masterpiece!

Definitely my favourite puzzle game right now. A step up from Picross 3D. The new mechanic with blue and orange boxes adds a new layer of complexity to picross solving. The presentation is absolutely gorgeous

Nintendo and HAL labs could easily have just made the same game with more puzzles, and nobody would have been upset by that. Instead they’ve upped the complexity, creating a damned near perfect sequel - and something genuinely unmissable for fans of logic puzzles.
A gem of a game that's chock full of charm in its presentation. From its music to the reveals in puzzle solutions, the game is an audio and visual delight. As a puzzle game, it's wonderfully challenging with options to tone down the difficulty and tailor the experience.
This game is comfort food, and it's a dish I won't mind having every single day.
Good old puzzle-solving Picross is a stepchild of crosswords, Sudoku and coloring books – but with nicer creations and a couple of interesting new ideas. [Issue #270]
With Picross 3D: Round 2, there's nothing here to set the world on fire, but it's still an extremely solid, addictive, and enjoyable puzzle title that will keep players engaged for plenty of time and they will have lots of fun while doing so.
Picross 3D: Round 2 deserves much more praise than it gets. It has amazing review scores, but even the announcement of it in the Nintendo Direct was less than 15 seconds long. If you have the money to buy this game, get it. The franchise needs all the attention it can get for another sequel.

ZERO USER REVIEWS?!? FOR A PERFECT 10 ****?!?
Allow me to be the first lowly common man to laud this masterpiece. That soothing SNES-SimCity-esque soundtrack. The snap of breaking blocks akin to cracking the top of a creme brulee. The bloops and bleeps of marking cubes only to eventually paint them a permanent shade of mango or cobalt. So many satisfying elements that combine to make of the most well-rounded puzzle games I've ever played.
Round 2 picks up where the brilliant Picross 3D left off, only this time we are introduced to a new mechanic: the blue and orange blocks. This new feature is a welcome addition and adds just enough of a twist to make it feel like an actual sequel instead of "Picross 3D: More Puzzles." If you've played a Picross title before don't hesitate to switch the difficulty over to Hard the first chance you get. The two lower difficulty settings are simply too easy unless this is your introduction to the game. If you HAVEN'T played a Picross title before, this is a great starting point. If you keep the game on one of the easier settings you will get the hang of solving puzzles in no time. The best part of having multiple difficulty levels is once you finish the game on easy, you can switch to medium or hard and have a completely new experience playing all the way through a second time. I've seen people say that $30 is too expensive for a title like this but I think it's perfectly justified. Even if you're completing the puzzles as fast as possible, it'll take at least 30 hours to completely clear everything.
This is my first user review. I created an account at Metacritic simply to heap praise on this title. It's criminal how overlooked this title is and will continue to be.

A must have for puzzle and Picross fans. It's fun, relaxing, addicting, challenging if you try the hard difficulty, it has over 300 puzzles and hours of gameplay.

Boring as crap tbh. There is absolutely no replay value and the unlockables are horrible. No motivation to play this garbage. The game is also filled with bugs. 0/10.
