Nonograms Katana. I guess there are micro transactions for useless crap but it's not pay to win. If you're on iOS, it's just the puzzles but if you're on Android, it includes a "mini game" where you...build out a village? And fight monsters in dungeons? It's really weird....but I'm in it for the puzzles.
Nonograms are great for puzzles that are hard enough to be satisfying when you solve them, but easy enough to be relaxing. I use Picture Cross Color on iphone.
It's the perfect phone game!
This one is good but Hungry Cat Nonograms is the best mobile picross game imo. Thousands of puzzles, amazing controls, beautiful art. It has ads which can be removed with a single in-app purchase. Been playing for almost 8 years and they're still releasing weekly content.
I certainly don't want to argue about which is better as I haven't played that one but Katana also has 155k puzzles! Users add a ton each day and you can follow your favorite artists. No purchase necessary and no ads (unless you watch one for some of the aforemented useless stuff)
I will say that there's plenty of garbage puzzles due to them being user-generated. And a good portion are color nonograms which I don't like all that much
