14 Minesweeper Variants
If you thought that Minesweeper was too easy, or that guessing in Minesweeper is a sin that should be avoided at all costs, then this is the game for you. 14 Variants is a brutally hard game that expects you to follow a bunch of potentially obscure logical trails to deduce every square and can…

DemonCrawl
It’s basically Minesweeper but with rogue-like mechanics.

RiME
RiME is a beautiful little short to medium story game. It has some rudimentary puzzles in it but it’s mostly a game about visual storytelling. You play as a young boy who wakes up on a beach, where you can use your voice to activate statues around the island to raise platforms, open doors, or…

WitchWay
WitchWay is a charming little puzzle platformer about escaping a well and rescuing bunnies. Early on, you find a wand that you can use to control purple blocks scattered all throughout the well, which you’ll then use to either press buttons remotely or traverse the rooms you’re in.

Taiji
Ever since I finished The Witness for the first time back in 2017, I’ve been looking for a puzzle game that follows that same formula, and this year I found it with Taiji. Instead of being a first person puzzle game about completing puzzle panels where you fill in the edges, this is a top-down…

The Room
Yet another bundle of games, each with the same premise and controls. The Room is a series of point & click puzzle games with an overarching plot told through notes left behind by the people you’re trying to track down. The series starts off simple enough, you start with a box, and you have to…

The Looker
If you didn’t like The Witness, you’ll absolutely love The Looker. This is a parody game by one dude, who just wanted to make something really funny and frankly they did a great job at it. The objective here is the same as The Witness: Draw a line from the start to the end. Unlike…

The Witness
This is a hard one to recommend because it takes a certain type of person to enjoy the concept of this game. You’re dropped in a world devoid of life but full of puzzles, with no direction other than the controls. Move to the door, click to open solving mode, draw a line from the…

hexceed
This is a logic puzzle like hexagonal Minesweeper, but with a few extra mechanics, like red arrows that indicate mines in the direction(s) of the arrow(s), or green numbers that indicate mines within 2 tiles of the number instead of just directly adjacent. You can click on a hint to highlight what that hint refers…

INFRA
Yet another one that I was recommended by a YouTuber I follow, but this time it was Real Civil Engineer. I got about 3 videos into the playlist before I stopped and went to play it myself, and I’m glad I did. The game surprisingly has a very intriguing plot, which is not something you’d…
