#49. Picross 3D: Round 2 (3DS, 2016)
I love Picross and this would not be a good Wigs list without a Picross game around here. But what's important in a good Picross game? The trickiest thing is control and they're all bad on mobile, and even Switch makes that tricky. Truly, we shine here with a stylus and shoulder buttons, so the DS or 3DS reigns supreme. And then we add a good twist. Put the puzzle in 3D. So we have 3D Picross on the DS. Adding the extra dimension adds an extra layer of... dimension. I wish there were more harder puzzles, and it takes a while to build up to the more interesting ones, but it's still fun. It also has the circle and square variants, where you have the # of squares in that row broken up by 2s or 3s or more.

And then we add one more layer with 3D Picross Round 2. Firstly, it's on the 3DS not the DS so we're already a step ahead there. We add a second color, working with orange and blue, which isn't that uncommon a thing to more advanced Picross games, but still well-appreciated here. Anyway, everything just feels great here. The way you pop the pieces and how it feels when you do. The puzzles themselves are more interesting and complicated than in the first one. Plus there is a bit of flavor as the actual puzzles will just give you a nice little blurb about the thing you made that sound like Jon Bois tweets so that's always good for a laugh.

Anyway, I just really love Picross and I'd be remiss to not have one on here, and this is clearly the best one imo for its extra depth, good control scheme, perfect console for it, and little bit of humor, so here it is. Shoutout to Pokemon Picross though for being a free game where you never have to pay a dime, you just do a limited number of pokemon related puzzles each day. Solid.



Next up: A game that the first time I played it, I gave up on trying to advance because I owned it used.
