Tag: Artful
Games where the primary emphasis is on the wow factor of the world design. Some games may be walking simulators, but artful games may also include engaging gameplay alongside stunning visuals.

Alabaster Dawn
Okay I know this is in early access and only really 2/7ths released, but trust me this game is so fun to play and well worth.

The Artisan of Glimmith
A puzzle game about creating stained glass windows. Sounds simple enough, but expands wildly in complexity as you push further into the worlds.
-
Gorogoa
A stunningly hand-drawn story puzzle game about moving the pieces of the world around to find new interactions.
-
UNBEATABLE
A World Where Music Is Illegal, And You Do Crime.
-
Cocoon
Funky little puzzle game about a moth person doing… Something? Not sure, really, this game is one of those ones with literally zero dialogue, zero setup (other than you pop out of a weird cyber cocoon), and zero answers. You kinda just go through the areas presented to you and figure out puzzles to advance.

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
Very puzzly puzzle game with a lot of pattern recognition, code breaking, and lateral thinking. And lots and lots of scratch paper.
-
Everhood
The best way I can describe this game is that it is Undertale meets Yume Nikki with a rhythm section.
-
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Apparently this game made me miss the Saturday slot last week. When the weird bug lady kicks your ass and delays your review by a week. Accurate for this game though tbh.
-
Tchia
A game from the heart, soul, and spirit of native New Caledonia. Navigate and explore through an open world island and follow the story of Tchia as she tries to find her father.
-
A Little To The Left
Another chill relaxing game. I think the heat has been getting to me… This one is about organising and arranging things.
-
Boxes: Lost Fragments
You’d be forgiven for seeing this game and thinking it’s related somehow to The Room. Ness did. And well, thats because it is, kind of.

Nine Sols
Another combat focus metroidvania, except the Taopunk vibes are absolutely impeccable. Big world, small creature yadda yadda, though it’s not like you’re a nobody here like you are in Hallownest or Aorasque. You are Yi, one of the leaders here, exiled for 500 years.
