I haven’t played in a couple of years now, since they released the big open world plains. I did install it earlier in the fall, but still haven’t gotten around to it yet…
I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic, but your comment is so true it hurts. When you first figure out how minesweeper works, your mind is blown away.
I think they’re all games that seriously benefit from not knowing the lore or mechanics beforehand… you didn’t even contribute aside from being snide to me so how about you explain what I did wrong?
Everyone always glosses over his second big game, The Hex. It’s fucking stellar, and a GREAT game to go into blind.
Quick edit: I didn’t think I’d like it more than Inscryption and it doesn’t have the same replay value, but after beating it over the course of two days… The Hex is his best work. Very excited for Pony Island 2.
I could not love it more. Ignore the graphics in the preview—they make sense like a half hour in. (Not a spoiler, something that got me to play the game)
Another Quicc Edit: I think it’s been long enough where I can replay it. I loved it sooooo much.
Yes! Return of the Obra Dinn 100%. You can still watch other people play it on YouTube later and have a blast seeing them figure things out. And read Lucas Pope’s excellent devblog later as well.
I am super intimidated Return of the Obra Dinn. But it looks so cool, and I feel like it uses a lot of lateral thinking and makes you smarter for playing it.
No need to be intimidated. Just pick it up in a sale. Definitely a brain teaser but there are spoiler reduced guides out there in case you get stuck. But you should be able to finish the game even without guidance.
I disagree with FEAR simply because I’d say to play it on the hardest difficulty and go balls to the wall because the AI will fuck you over if it gets the chance; and the longer you take to clear a room, the more time the AI has to organize and execute a plan. If it weren’t for the fact that I’ve seen plenty of people get stuck on FEAR because they tried to play it like a cover shooter, I’d fully agree with you.
I went into Oxenfree completely blind after picking it up for next to nothing on the switch store. Great story with choices that actually matter. OP, do yourself a favor and play this without a guide.

Return to the Obra Dinn, you are a insurance auditor
I wish I could erase all my memories of Obra Dinn, just so I could experience it again for the first time 🥺 Also that soundtrack slaps!
Warframe. Focus on the Main Quest. That is all.
I haven’t played in a couple of years now, since they released the big open world plains. I did install it earlier in the fall, but still haven’t gotten around to it yet…
Minesweeper
I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic, but your comment is so true it hurts. When you first figure out how minesweeper works, your mind is blown away.
Hollow Knight
Warframe
Noita
The warframe lore is pretty complex, but its also great. Especially the way the game tells you the story. Can only recommend going into it blind.

Someone already mentioned Disco Elysium, system shock 2 and BioShock are also very good
Sorry if these have been said already. Note I suck at gaming and couldn’t finish either but I enjoyed my time with them:
Animal Well and Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
I’m disappointed that nobody’s mentioned Pony Island yet.
Fucking great game, Inscryption was mentioned in here at least.

I own it, but haven’t played it yet. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

Bioshock.
Most of the really good games have been posted already, so here are three that you should play regardless if you’ve never heard of them before:
Check them all out because they’re short and free
NICE! I like free stuff!
Oh man, frog fractions! Been a long time but that is an experience I will never forget.
Just finished Frog Fractions.
I…what the fuck???
(honestly though, one of the best games I played this year)
Dude you must be so good at fractions now!!!
I certainly know everything there is to know about the immigration process on Bug Mars now.
Tunic. Knowing how to do the puzzles defeats the fun of the game.
+1 Loved every time I learned a new mechanic through the game.
Rez and Fez. Similar names, very different games.

Can you send me the link to FEAR? In steam there are a lot of games with this name lol.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/21090/FEAR/
Ok thx, this one is actually available in gog too, and for cheaper. Gonna check it out. (Costed me 0.2$, but there is regional pricing here).
What region is that?
Brazil
Heck yes. Enjoy. Say hit to Alma for me.
I disagree with FEAR simply because I’d say to play it on the hardest difficulty and go balls to the wall because the AI will fuck you over if it gets the chance; and the longer you take to clear a room, the more time the AI has to organize and execute a plan. If it weren’t for the fact that I’ve seen plenty of people get stuck on FEAR because they tried to play it like a cover shooter, I’d fully agree with you.
Honestly, fair assessment. Well said.
I went into Oxenfree completely blind after picking it up for next to nothing on the switch store. Great story with choices that actually matter. OP, do yourself a favor and play this without a guide.
Heck yes. I still need to play the second one.
Inscryption
Damn, was I surprised as a fan of older TCGs and videogame TCGs.
Was gonna mention this one soooooo good
And The Hex, which is his prior game. IT IS SO HORRIBLY UNDERRATED
Hollow knight. The exploration of that game is absolutely the pinnacle of world layouts
Subnautica.
Survival. But you’re in the middle of an ocean. Good luck!
The way the game drip feeds you information. I love it!
Is it available for android?
No, but it’s on Nintendo Switch, PC/Steam, and a few other consoles, I believe!
I think it may be my favorite game of all time, so if you choose to play it, I hope you have fun!
