I have no idea what it is about this game, but I couldn't put it down. I've played other Picross games before and I wasn't as engaged with them as I was with this one for some reason. There were only a handful of puzzles that I really struggled with and I don't really consider myself a great Picross player. That along with the great tools this game has to help players solve puzzles makes this a really accessible game. The almanac is pretty neat, I'm hoping that it will help me with my Story of Seasons games after I look through them. I think my biggest gripes with the game is the actual pixel art. A lot of the puzzles were very symmetrical, which kind of brought the satisfaction of solving the puzzle down a bit. Also, the art itself looked atrocious. Even after seeing the color filled in and the label identifying what I was looking at, there were times where I was scratching my head in confusion because the pictures were almost unidentifiable. I feel the need to point this out because I haven't had that problem with other Picross games. Overall, I think this is still an easy recommendation for people that like Picross.
