Outer Wilds changed my life then Tunic changed it again

Edit: Game Recommendations by the people in the comments:

And some game recommendations by me to add on to the post:

  • Taiji
    • A 2D puzzle game where you slowly unravel how to solve each different element of the puzzles, eventually culminating in a massive puzzle gauntlet. Basically identical in concept and execution to The Witness, but still very much its own unique and fun game.
  • The Golden Idol
    • A puzzle game where each level you must examine a scene to figure out exactly what happened, eventually piecing together the full story over several levels. Don’t let the art style put you off, it’s an incredibly well done game. Most similar to Return of the Obra Dinn in concept.
  • Stories: The Path of Destinies
    • an action RPG with a branching choice-driven storyline, but not every story has a happy ending… You’ll piece together the true story over multiple playthroughs and eventually find the one true path. It wasn’t a particularly life-changing game but it was still a lot of fun and worth checking out if it sounds interesting!

    The worst thing I did to myself was watching a playthrough of The Witness on youtube instead of playing it myself. It’s right up my alley and it’s such a beautiful and clever game that I would have loved to experience myself. Good news though, if you love The Witness check out Taiji on steam! It’s extremely similar in concept and gameplay, just in 2D instead!

      Yeah, you’re going to lose some wow factor when you realize a trick or game mechanic required for the puzzles, but I think it’s still worth it (if you love puzzles anyway)

      Thanks for the recommendation for Taiji, it really is very similar, looks like something I’d love to play :) I put it on my wishlist!
