While there are 150 puzzles in the game available in both modes one of the gotchas, to some degree, is that the pictures for the puzzles are shared between the traditional and mega modes. While they’re not included in the same order, to help prevent you from knowing the pattern for any given mega puzzle in advance if you’ve already completed the normal puzzle for it, there is still then some degree of familiarity possible if you choose to tackle the Mega Puzzles after the Normal ones. I’d imagine that this effect would only be worse if you chose to do the Mega puzzles first and then the now-easier Normal ones second though. For fans of the series the fact that there are no glaring issues with his new edition for the Switch will probably make it an easy game to pick up, unless your heart was set on being able to play the game in touchscreen mode. For people new to this series who are interested in a very cerebral type of puzzle experience it is an excellent entry in an already terrific series and should provide a substantial amount of content for most people at its reasonable price point. While not everything about this edition is what I’d hoped it is still one of the premier puzzle games on the market and it is well-represented in its first outing on the Switch!
