Logiart Grimoire

This is without a doubt my favorite Picross game so far. The main mechanic in this game that makes it stand out from other Picross games is that you have to fuse previous puzzles together according to a description to unlock new puzzles. It's similar to something like Doodle God or Little Alchemy except you need to fuse specific items instead of just mindlessly fusing everything. It's a neat albeit pretty short detour from just playing normal Picross and I like this addition a good amount. The presentation in this game is also stellar, everything feels really polished and the moving space-like background provides some nice kinetic visuals. This game also has a story (although a pretty small one) about how the player is helping Emil restore all of the pages of the titular Logiart Grimoire so more people will be able to solve Logiart (nonogram) puzzles. Emil chimes in after you clear certain puzzles and usually just adds a little comment, but it's always nice seeing what he has to say. Also, if you fail to fuse a puzzle, there is a random chance that you will unlock one of Emil's Logiart puzzles. These puzzles canonically are Emil's failed attempts at restoring the grimoire, and they…

Picross, by the Picross people.

Beautiful puzzles throughout both the base game and bonus content.

One of the best to ever do it. It has all the modern quality-of-life features you'd come to expect, and the art is consistently very high quality and does a great job actually looking like what it's supposed to represent. Be warned, as other commenters have mentioned, this is for seasoned nonogrammists. There are some BRUTAL puzzles in the late-game, and it required me to discover some new logic strategies that I haven't needed across the thousands of other Picross puzzles I've solved before.

[b]definitely not recommended for those new to solving nonograms.[/b] but if you're an experienced solver, you'll have a blast with this game. [hr][/hr] great puzzles that require a lot of advanced logic [i](not edge logic or other bruteforce approaches!)[/i] and are well designed to be difficult throughout the entire solving experience. the puzzle quality is by far the best aspect of this game. i cannot emphasize enough how difficult this game is. even the 10x10s will whoop your butt. many puzzles feature a lot of "choke points" where you only have one or maybe two lines you can even make progress on. this is a neutral point for me. some people find frustration with not being able to make progress, i personally value the moment when you do eventually find it and can continue, it's a huge amount of satisfaction. you [i]will[/i] improve as a solver by playing this game without assists. the total number of available puzzles are 280 main puzzles, 24 bonus "error" puzzles, 115 kickstarter bonus puzzles and 5 free dlc puzzles, ranging from 5x5, 10x10, 15x15, 20x20, 30x30, 40x30. the fusion mechanic is... awkward. it throws me out of the flow state and it feels more like a chore. all…

some of these puzzles were designed by the devil itself. 10/10
