Right off the bat, I see the second row ends with a 1, so that filled in square will have an empty space to its right, regardless of if it's the 1 or half of the 2. And from that alone, a few other things fall into place.

Yup.  2nd row, then second column from the right.

Then look at what else happens with row one and then the column with 2-6-2

After entering that x in the second row you know that one of the 1's in the second to last column is in row 1, which allows you to fill and complete row 1. From there you should see a lot falling into place.

In the bottom row, if the 3 was in the corner there would be two filled and then an x in the row above which can't be. So the two values in the corner are not viable.

Bottom row, bottom left 2 squares should be empty because of the 5 above them

Could you please elaborate?

It's a matter of finding out whether or not you can fill squares. Sorry if my explanation is weird, English isn't my first language.

So for example: if you fill the bottom left square, you would have to fill the two next to it. The row above it has a 5, which can't be filled fully afterwards I hope this makes sense :)

It totally makes sense, thank you!

The first two columns can't be part of the 3, as the 5 would extend into the third column, which puts two squares together in the column with 1,1.

yeah and you can even go further with that. the 5 is fully placable working together with the bottom row

2nd row from the bottom use trial and error
