Covemount (Collection)
A collection of cute little tiny sokoban games by Hempuli, the troll mastermind behind Baba Is You. Every game in the collection is free with a good number of very difficult levels, including some troll logic puzzles, but there are also some themes and mechanics that are consistent within the engine.

EX-XDRiVER
Another free steam rhythm game? Oh you really do spoil us. XDRiVER is a rhythm game with all the styling of a futuristic racing game, the vibes indicate motorcycle racing, but the specifics don’t really matter too much because it’s ultimately a regular VSRG with some interesting scoring mechanics.

Beacon Pines
A very cute little mystery novel with a pretty creepy undertone. Some endings are bad, some are tragic, but the magic is none are permanent, as you explore the branching story of the book to find the true ending.
-
Islands of Insight
It’s finally out! The biggest open-world puzzle game has released, and it’s just as- if not more -obnoxious for the “ooh shiny” among us.
-
My Time At Sandrock
I like this game. They managed to make a sequel to My Time At Portia, and make the story and distinct while leaving a recognisable gameplay loop.
-
Portal Revolution
Its Portal, but another one! I’ve not written about Portal yet, but there isn’t anything that I really need to say about it. It’s the defining 3D first person puzzle game. This mod however, is a nice little extra for people that want more Portal.
-
Turnip Boy Robs A Bank
He’s done it again! Our favourite vegetable commits heinous atrocities for fun, part two. What do you mean I haven’t spoken about the time he committed tax evasion (whoops, I’ll put that out eventually, that game is good too.)
-
Ato
Ninja cat metroidvania where you just want to find your kidnapped child and wife. With a whole story told without a single word in a large connected world of stunningly beautiful pixel art, this is definitely up there on the list of very good metroidvanias.
-
NERTS! Online
All Aces, No Spaces! So you know klondike solitaire, the one that came bundled with your Windows XP computer? The guys at Zachtronics made it a competitive multiplayer game and it’s incredible.

Melatonin
Cozy Rhythm Paradise for sleepy people. A very pretty game I’m love.
