I really love puzzle games! Unfortunately there aren't a lot of them, or at least they're really hard to find. The puzzle section on Steam is basically completely filled with horror games that I guess have some puzzle elements mixed in, hence why they're in the puzzle section.

Games like Portal, Stephen's Sausage Roll, and Braid are awesome.

I recommend a simple little game called Rush. I don't even know what motivated me to get it some time ago, but I had fun with it even though I wouldn't say I usually like puzzle games. It's all of 0.22€ on sale where I'm sitting, might be worth trying.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely look into it

Patrick's Parabox is a neat little puzzle game that became one of my favorites after I 100%ed it. It's a bit different from the games you've listed here - deceptively simple, 2D box pushing type of game, but has a level of mind bending through manipulation of space that I think rivals Baba is You in terms of "what the hell, I've just broken physics in a way that is internally consistent but that I didn't see coming".

I have Patrick's Parabox on my Steam, been waiting to get the chance to play it. I really liked Baba is You though, so I'm looking forward to playing it

Have you played Outer Wilds and Return of the Obra Dinn? They are 2 of the best narrative puzzle games I've ever played.

[–] Contramuffin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yup, played through them both! Outer Wilds is one of my favorite games of all time
