For a low price, you'll get hours of content to enjoy. And while seasoned Picrossers won't find a wealth of new features in Picross e, that doesn't take away from the fun to be had; it just leaves you wanting more.

Fun like pulling teeth, in a game that times you while doing a puzzle, one minor slip-up or miss-click will add 2 minutes to the timer. Don't even try to play this game in a car or bus. Don't worry though you can just restart the puzzle but not before being shown a flag of surrender because you GAVE UP. The puzzles themselves are horribly easy which makes it all the more frustrating when you accidentally hit a wrong tile and it adds 2 minutes or over twice the time it takes to "solve" a normal puzzle. There is also a "hint" option that you can't get rid of and asks you if you want a hint at the start of EVERY level. Over all the puzzles are too easy for the level of punishment for making VERY simple mistakes 0/10 this game blows and the devs should go back to living in dad's trailer like the rest of the trash.

€5, Digital. I love picross, so I love picross e, it's very optimized for playability, you can use stylus and buttons, and the board loops around. I always play ONE MORE PUZZLE... at least the 10x10 ones, the 20x20 ones require more scrolling than is good for you. Totally worth it. Every 3ds picross, usually they are half price a few times per year. Get them for €2.50

I liked the Mario's Picross game very much and expected this game to be the same. In essence this is exactly what I got. This game has some nice extra features like marking the lines in which you can deduce some marks directly. Like the GameBoy game, you are able to activate some help, which fills a horizontal and a vertical line of the riddle, before you can start solving it. There is also a game mode, in which mistakes are not penalized and you must see by yourself, what has gone wrong. I like those kind of riddles and I buy some magazines which them frequently, to solve them in the bus/train. Those magazines contain approximately 25 riddles and cost about 3,50€. This game contains much more riddles (I am too lazy to count them right now) and costs a cheap 5€ so it was a good deal for me. Still I would have liked some bigger riddles. The maximum size in this game is 15x15. All in all, the game deserves a solid 7, because it is that cheap and - compared to a magazine - quite large.

Picross DS is still the best version of the game, but for those new to Picross this is a brilliant introduction.

Picross e is the ideal game for series newcomers to jump into, helped greatly by its always-at-hand downloaded nature, suspend features, and intuitive control schemes.

If you're starving for some more Picross puzzles, then you can't really go wrong with Picross E. It gives you a reasonably large set of 150 new puzzles to sink your teeth into, and although they're not particularly challenging, they'll at least keep you busy for a while.

If you've never tried before it's a good opportunity. It offers a lot of content that will keeps up playing for a long while. Might be hard to play on a standard 3DS because of the precision needed, but it's always better than playing it on paper. A good choice.

Not as good as its DS predecessor, Picross E still provides a challenging and complete experience at a budget price, which makes it an interesting product for whoever feels like challenging his own logic skills.

Picross e is definitely Picross, no doubt about that, but it doesn't really do anything we haven't already played numerous times before.

I love the Picross games, but this was a little bare bones. Granted, it was a cheap download, but I'd be willing to pay and wait a little more for something with more reward to it. It's definitely worth a download if you're a Picross fan, but for anyone else, I'd recommend going with one of the older DS cartridges.
