The game gives complete freedom over which order players can tackle the over 350 puzzles in the title, what ultimately matters is the stars collected – up to 3 per level if they’re finished without hints and mistakes. There is also a mode where the picture to complete is made of dozens of smaller puzzles, ultimately revealing a bigger unlockable artwork. Like any fan of said puzzles knows, nonograms feel like a mixture of Minesweeper and sudoku, with players given instructions on how many consecutive filled pixels there are on each row and column and having to use intuition to find common ground between said hints, slowly unraveling a monochrome drawing that turns into a colourful pixel art once completed. The standard puzzles go from extremely easy 5×5 grids, all the way to complicated 20×20 behemoths, with the most pleasant 10×10 and 15×15 variations in between. So… how does this game manage said puzzles? But personally, I bought this game with the intention of playing nonograms, and a licensed IP is just the icing on the cake.
The infectious vocoded anime style songs and the lore around the colourful characters surrounding Hatsune seems to be a hot topic to this day, something I don’t mind at all – these energetic tunes give a fun, light-hearted mood to the puzzles of the game.
I have to admit that I am not particularly familiar with the whole global phenomenon of Hatsune Miku, and to an extent, it surprises me it’s still so relevant to this day. Here’s the Xbo圎ra review for Hatsune Miku Logic Paint S! Filling in the blanks I have long lamented the absence of notable nonogram puzzles games on Xbox, and now we finally have one, based on the most famous Vocaloid project, no less. As someone who frequently plays puzzle games and various muscle memory games on console while multitasking – when watching a TV show, or a not particularly intense sports event – the Picross games on Nintendo consoles have served me well, offering my favourite kind of puzzle in a convenient format.
