Puzzle Games

Puzzle games that I thoroughly enjoyed. Some of them are more narrative heavy than others.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Videogames
"A light-hearted puzzle game with a cutsy aesthetic appeal. An amazing game to introduce the little ones to videogames. However, the difficulty ramps up as the latter levels will test even the most seasoned of gamers."
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Social
"A walking simulator with an interesting heartfelt narrative. Very light on the puzzle side, should be played for the story. Stunning graphics! "
Portal
Videogames
"A revolutionary game that stole the Orange Box spotlight back in '07. Its unique gameplay mechanic coined the phrase: Now you're thinking with portals"
SOMA
Videogames
"A very well written and powerful narrative piece of sci-fi. The Bioshock-like environment successfully instills feelings of dread and isolation. A++!"
The Talos Principle
Videogames
"Thought provoking game with an intricate plot that deals with philosophical questions of identity and consciousness. A must play if you're into that. "
Antichamber
Social
"Unique puzzle game based around non-euclidean geometry. Combine this with a high-contrast minimalist art style and you're in a for a trippy fun time."
Portal 2
Videogames
"The ingenious puzzle nature of its predecessor is now enhanced by a narrative that manages to be funny and engaging without derailing itself. A must. "
The Stanley Parable
Videogames
"A tale of defiance between the narrative and the player. A short but sweet experience where the player has complete agency over its decisions. Unique."
Portal Reloaded
Videogames
"A free DLC for Portal 2 owners on Steam. The addition of a time portal really pushes the boundaries of the puzzle design and brings some fresh interactions that'll leave you scratching your head. It really feels like playing underwater 4D chess. "
