i love picross as much as the next person but when you've played it and other logic puzzles like it as much as i have it gets pretty easy. and y'know sometimes that's what you want, to just kinda chill and give your brain juuuuust enough to focus on and just space out for a bit. but as somebody who likes those kinds of puzzles, patterna has proved to be really amazing for when i want to *really* have to think about what im doing. very meditative in its own way. a true hidden gem of steam, really. probably wouldn't recommend it to people without any experience with the kinds of logical deductions that nonograms and similar puzzle games (such as the clear inspiration, hexcells) require you to make, though. it'd be nice to be able to make a 'note' mark on any node. pretty minor complaint all things considered though. doesn't stop me from recommending this game if you're a puzzles sicko like i am e: okay, it's not obvious but you can actually hold shift to make "preliminary" note marks ...

About This Game
Patterna is a logic puzzle game for people who think that HexCells is far too easy. It features a highly customizable random level generator, a level editor, more than 70 levels, and an enchanting minimalist soundtrack by Alex Cottrell.
In Patterna, each level is a network of nodes (also known as a graph). In a way similar to HexCells or Minesweeper, each node is ultimately in one of two states (known as pattern and non-pattern). Initially, most nodes' states are unknown. It is the player's task to correctly classify these unrevealed nodes using information based on distance, connectivity, and color. Correctly classifying a node may reveal more information that in turn helps you to solve the level.

It's a step up from Hexcells but so far not too difficult, has some great mechanics, so if you are looking for another minesweeper variant I definitely recommend it.
