Jupiter has delivered another satisfying slice of Picross bliss. While Picross S2 might be just more of the same, its hard to imagine a way in which the developer could shake things up without ruining what makes the puzzler so addictive in the first place. If you’re hungry for more Picross or just a new puzzler in general then Picross S2 is a safe recommendation, albeit a rather predictable one.

Critic reviews
- From the hundreds of hours I’ve personally experienced with Picross, and also by other experiences of many friends, my only warning I’d give to new players is this: It can be very addicting, and the life you once knew before may be changed forever. So if you’re a fan of games like Sudoku, you won’t want to miss out on Picross S2.
- 6.0Picross S2 is a relaxing game that offers some variety in its gameplay to stay interesting enough. It is surprisingly addictive, yet it also lacks some features that could improve its levels of variety. Its price currently seems a little too high for what is offered.
- Picross S2 perfectly encapsulates the alluring “one more go” feeling that so many like-minded puzzle games aspire for, and does so with such masterful implementation. Jupiter show they are still the master of their craft, as they have always been in their 25 years of releasing Picross titles across Nintendo’s hardware.
- 7.0We’d recommend this game to any puzzle fans looking for something that’s easy to get into and will take a long time to beat, as there’s plenty of content to justify the price. Fans of the first game may be a little disappointed at the lack of ambitious new features but, overall, this feels like a slightly better version of its predecessor.
- 6.0Malheureusement, ne cherchez pas d'autres nouveautés : il n'y en a guère. Le développeur est resté sur le moule de Picross S, jugeant inutile d'employer l'écran tactile et laissant le multijoueur coopératif, pas très intéressant, se découvrir uniquement si vous avez la curiosité de changer l'assignation des Joy-Con. Bref, les amateurs du genre y trouveront leur compte, mais rien de plus.
