And some game recommendations by me to add on to the post:

  • Taiji
    • A 2D puzzle game where you slowly unravel how to solve each different element of the puzzles, eventually culminating in a massive puzzle gauntlet. Basically identical in concept and execution to The Witness, but still very much its own unique and fun game.
  • The Golden Idol
    • A puzzle game where each level you must examine a scene to figure out exactly what happened, eventually piecing together the full story over several levels. Don’t let the art style put you off, it’s an incredibly well done game. Most similar to Return of the Obra Dinn in concept.
  • Stories: The Path of Destinies
    • an action RPG with a branching choice-driven storyline, but not every story has a happy ending… You’ll piece together the true story over multiple playthroughs and eventually find the one true path. It wasn’t a particularly life-changing game but it was still a lot of fun and worth checking out if it sounds interesting!

    This is like the 3rd time I’ve seen somebody bring up Outer Wilds today, and I still haven’t played it. It looks like that might be next on my list.

      I really like it but I’m a fucking dumbass apparently, because I’m stuck in it and can’t find any more clues to get further. not as much fun if you’re a dumbass

      Just be so careful not to spoil anything. If you lookup hints, do it with keywords to avoid spoilers as much as possible!

      One of a kind experience, definitely play it! 🙂

      Idk if it’s an exaggeration or not to say that Outer Wilds changed my life. I played it years ago yet I still think about it nearly every day. I started learning guitar just to play songs from the game. Highly recommend lol

      It’s easily one of my favourite games of all time, I cannot recommend it enough!

      It was definitely worth the price of admission, but I didn’t enjoy it enough to finish. The time loop mechanic just got annoying for me after a while. Having to time lots of different things and if you mess up you have to wait 15 minutes to try again.
