The Talos Principle
So when I tell you that the team behind Serious Sam made another game, what genre are you thinking? Because personally, “philosophical puzzle game” is quite low on the list. So this is a philosophical puzzler with an overarching story. Like Portal but slightly more biblical.

Chants of Sennaar
A (mostly) puzzle game about language. Specifically languages you don’t know. And if you’re thinking “oh this sounds like Trunic,” then you’re a little mistaken because the main goal of the game here is to learn and understand the languages. The game helps with this.

Islands of Insight (First Look)
So this game has not been released yet, but I am so incredibly hype for it! It’s the brainchild of some of the industry’s best puzzle creators, and the closest comparison I can make is to The Witness, but it’s so much more than just that! You can jump in this one. Explore a stunningly…

The Outer Worlds
A 2019 space exploration game that’s super story heavy with some elements of mystery, and if you’re thinking of a certain other Outer game, you’d be thinking wrong. This one has guns! It’s one of the Obsidian RPGs, and I’m honestly surprised at how engaged I’ve been with this, since I’m not usually the kind…

Can of Wormholes
Yet another devilishly complex puzzle game with a simple premise and simple set of controls. Can of Wormholes is kind of a snake + Sokoban hybrid, a Snekoban if you will, where the goal is to get your snake into the hole. Your only controls are to move the head of the snake in one…

Off schedule post here because the game is currently like, 90% off on steam summer sale. Go play, you’ll like. Funky lil indie point and click puzzle game with a surprisingly charming aesthetic and voice acting, and a fun story that ends with sabotaging a submarine, which is…. impressively topical to say the least.
