Combining picross with a relatively obscure anime (and not even using the anime’s name in the title) is a weird choice, but if you’re looking for more picross, you can’t go wrong here. The quality-of-life improvements are good, the Color Picross mode is fun, and having a little bit of story is a nice change of pace, even if the plot doesn’t have much to it.

- 7.0Picross: Lord of the Nazarick certainly proves to be an odd addition to the Picross canon, but it proves itself worthy through the consistently excellent puzzle design and rewarding gameplay, which is every bit as great as that which has come before. That being said, there are also some notable shortcomings in this release, such as a shoehorned and useless ‘story’ and a notably smaller number of overall puzzles. Despite the Overlord elements, this in some ways feels like a sloppier and lesser release than the remarkably focused entries that preceded it.
- More than 500 puzzles are present, with the recent series addition of Color Picross returning in a limited but welcome form. Here’s the full breakdown: 162 Picross and Mega Picross puzzles, 330 Clip Picross puzzles, and 27 Color Picross puzzles. I do wish there was less focus on Clip Picross and more on the good Color Picross implementation, but my desire for Picross is satiated for now with Lord of the Nazarick. I appreciate the stylistic departure and I hope Jupiter does more adventurous Picross games like this in the future.
- 7.0Enchaînant confortablement les éditions de Picross sur 3DS puis Nintendo Switch sans vraiment chercher le renouvellement, Jupiter propose à cette dernière un crossover avec l'anime Overlord. Picross : Lord of the Nazarick offre pour premier dépaysement la nécessité de colorier des cases suivant des indices donnés qui ne donneront pas vie à des objets de la vie de tous les jours. Les quelques 162 grilles Picross et Mega Picross, 330 Clip Picross et 27 Color Picross vont cette fois révéler des personnages et éléments issus de l'univers sur lequel règne Ainz Ooal Gown.
