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!

Games listed in the image, for those who want a straight list instead of looking at an image:

  • Heaven’s Vault
  • Outer Wilds
  • Tunic
  • Return of the Obra Dinn
  • Chants of Sennaar

    Thank you for your sweet words! Yeah the game thrusts you into a crazy situation and then a new world with special Rules. The ket helped me feel extremely confused and alone for the first part, which honestly is what the game intends. Then it wore off a half hour later snd when I came to my bearings, I was insanely interested in leaning about the fuckin amazing world they created. Please check it out, it’s tied with The Hex for “games I went into completely blind and the my blew me away holy dicks”.

    If you’ve got a couple bumps of ket on hand tho, the first half hour of The Forgotten City is like MADE FOR THAT hahaha
