@solidsanek I am picky as heck with puzzle games - I love Layton ones because the puzzles are really good /and/ they care a lot about making a quirky world and entertaining story for the puzzles to live in! (Though I haven't played any by the new puzzle masters)

And I like ones like picross because I like that puzzle format. If I don't like the puzzle format enough to be okay with no character, I don't play. Picross is like sudoku but more fun.

There's few games out there that do what Layton did and work with actual puzzle masters and then find a way to make it accessible to everyone.
