I somehow stumbled across this game (Voxelgram) while browsing Steam, and after reading some of the reviews it was an instant purchase. It's 100% a Picross 3D clone with Steam Workshop support, and after a few hours it's been great. While Picross seems firmly like a handheld experience, the game has definitely helped me destress while working from home. I can just play a puzzle for a few minutes to clear my mind and get back to whatever I'm doing.

Looking around online, it seems that this game is one of only a few Picross 3D clones out there. Steam has a bunch of nonogram games, but this is the only Picross 3D game that seems remotely competent. Considering how amazing Picross 3D was, I'm surprised that there are so few knock-offs.

If you're into Picross 3D or like generally relaxing puzzle games, then I recommend this game.

Oh, if you don't know what Picross 3D is, it was Giant Bomb's winner of the 2010 DS-Only Game of the Year category.

Thanks so much for this thread! I absolutely love Picross 3D (Round 2 is one of my all-time favorite games) but I’ve had no luck finding other games of its kind. I’ll definitely be losing some hours to this over the coming week.

It is also available on Switch (if you want to maintain the handheld experience).
