Fun Picross game. Well worth it especially if bought on sale with the amount of puzzles. I've been playing this daily for 2 weeks around lunch break & evening on steam deck and finally completed it today. Puzzles are a mix of combat (timed) and chest (will drain your gold if you guess too many incorrect tiles). Some of the combat-themed puzzles took a few attempts for me to complete since sometimes I didn't balance the timing in between correctly triggering rows & columns so I get hit a lot or rush to the point I make mistakes and get hit. I didn't really like relying on the items from the shop (aside from the health expansion which was quite steep to obtain in the beginning) that assist with solving the puzzle and would say the game is doable without using any items. Pretty fun & cozy game to play while resting.

As an active fan of nonogram games, this one is fine. There's better options out there, but it's in no way bad. I like that all the art gets animated once the puzzles are completed, and the health systems and power ups are pretty unique. But it's pretty easy once you get the hang of the 20x20s. After I beat the game, I was hoping to unlock a mega-picross type of "hard mode", but there was no post-game. In fact, I looked through the achievements after beating the game, and noticed there was one for dying 10 times. I had only died once during my whole playthrough, so i just went into the final boss and guessed wrong a bunch on purpose to 100% the game, so yeah, it's not very difficult. It's fine though, I would still recommend it, especially for beginners. Missing a few QOL things I would like the see though, namely auto-filling the rest of the row with Xs after guessing all the correct filled squares. But again, I still had fun with it :)

If you're getting into nonogram puzzles or like simple ones (5x5-20x20), get this game. If that's too simple for you, don't, you'll be bored since even with time limits, it's not hard. The game has pretty cute art, the fighting mechanic on top of solving is a little something to keep you on the edge/distracted (offset by the beneficial items)

PictoQuest is a nonogram puzzle game ranging from 5x5 puzzles all the way to 20x20 puzzles. The UI is really clean and I love the art style of the whole game, with the addition of the shop. Some of the puzzles were time-based which could be quite challenging. Definitely recommended!

It really deserves a neutral rating. If you're into this stuff it can be fun but I'd say Hatsune Miku Logic Paint S was better in about every way. The RPG elements seem like an interesting hook but can wear out their welcome when you're trying to quickly solve a 20x20 puzzle against 3 enemies. There are powerups, but if you're like me you want to hoard them and solve the puzzle yourself. Music/presentation are good, puzzles aren't bad, for $8 you could do a lot worse, but it really really deserves a neutral rating.
