I mastered Picross S today, making it my first full completion since February. Now my Switch can become a Dynasty Warriors machine for who knows how long.

I may have Kong beat by this point. My Picross adventures have been going for years and across a couple dozen different versions and sequels of those versions. Never played a Nintendo one(!) though.

I doubt you have me beat, but at least you're in great company! Nonograms are fantastic. Did you ever get into Slitherlink? Bends the mind in a completely different way. The really good Slitherlink entry on DS was import only (thank bacon for no region restrictions), but there was a kind of low-budget entry on Vita years back as well.

Yeah, I know of it and I think I actually played it more than I'm remembering, but just like with Picross, they get unwieldy quick without a stylus unless it has a nice interface. I seem to recall finding out about the Vita version (think it was PS mobile) when it had just been removed.

Not to derail much further, but in case I haven't mentioned it around here, Mamono Sweeper needs to be on the phones of everyone who has any love for Minesweeper whatsoever. Another game that takes an established formula and spins it on its head to make for an entirely different and satisfying approach.

Pay $1.99 to find out now. Otherwise you'll have to wait for Slurmee's review in January.

The Campaign was fun but short 4-5 hours. I'm glad the last jedi dlc will be making it longer.

Multiplayer is pretty meh so far. Lots of lag last week and maps aren't balanced and the progression feels awful. Doing well doesn't really give you a good reward. The core game however is really enjoyable it's just a real shame that things haven't been fixed.

Also maybe I've played to much overwatch but I get stuck on some many little objects or you can't jump over objects that look like you're able to just because they're a couple pixels to high. Also some gutter sized ledges force you to jump instead of being able to just step up on them. All stuff that can be fixed thankfully.
