      Anything can be a game if you want but your game should pause the timer during loading screens or people running NVMe will have an unfair advantage over those with HDDs.

    I love Picross! It’s so relaxing, but I haven’t played in a while due to my 3DS power button being broken.

    I love nonogram type games. Nonogram Katana on Android has a lot of really cool user created puzzles.

      I second Nonogram Katana! You can also play in the browser, but there’s seriously soooo many puzzles to do.

      And if that isn’t enough of a game for some people, there’s a whole guild system of resources and upgrades. Not to mention a dungeon mini-RPG they added in the last year

    Not that Picross isn’t a game, but there are speedruns of Microsoft Excel. I’m not convinced something having a speedrun proves it’s status as a game.

        I’m still picking my way through the DS game, it feels like super chill Minesweeper 😁 Knowing there’s SO MANY MORE Picross games pleases me for when I eventually finish this one. Love that there’s translation patches for all the Japan-only entries now as well. Will end up throwing some of them on the trust Retroid Pocket 3!

    Picross is my life whenever a new one comes out on the switch. Hope they bring back the 3D picross at some point, those were a neat change, and I think the current gen of games have kinda stagnated :(

      Picross 3d round 2 is legit one of my favorite games of all time. It’s so insanely good it is criminal they haven’t made another 3d one

        I still have my 3DS XL in a closet which should have it installed. I’d love to play it on a different system though, I should look into some emulation options!

    I was really sad the day I completed the last Picross S game on Switch. I had run out. I was playing in bed to unwind my brain at the end of the day. Found a clown on Steam that’s decent, but my Steam Deck is too big to play lying down in bed comfortably. 😥
