DARQ

Computers and IT, Games2d, adventure, platform, puzzle, single player

DARQ is a fantastic 2D side-scrolling puzzle-platform adventure game where you guide a little boy through a mysterious and sometimes scary dream world. By defying gravity, walking on walls and manipulating the environment, you must solve different types of puzzles and avoid enemies along the way.

With its nice puzzles, great atmosphere, nice graphics and gameplay, DARQ is certainly fun to play and I can only recommend it to any (hard-boiled) puzzle-adventure fan.

Carto

Computers and IT, Games2d, adventure, kids, point-n-click, puzzle, single player

Carto is a beautiful puzzle adventure game in which you follow a little girl called Carto on her journey to get back to her grandmother. By discovering and assembling different pieces of her map, the world grows piece by piece as the adventure unfolds.

This was certainly a fun adventure with some nice map-building puzzles to solve.
I can definitely recommend it for some relaxed couch-potato gaming.

Papetura

Computers and IT, Gamesadventure, kids, point-n-click, puzzle, single player

Papetura is a beautifully made point-and-click adventure game where you follow/guide two little creatures along their journey to save their papery world from pyromanic monsters.
The game is set in some really nice done scenes – who creation process is quite unique (see video on YouTube) and you will have to solve a number of puzzles to lead the protagonists to victory.

A somewhat short, but certainly enjoyable little adventure game!

Monument Valley 1 & 2

Computers and IT, Games3d, adventure, platform, puzzle, single player

Monument Valley and Monument Valley 2 are indie puzzle games with an isometric view in which you have to guide your main characters through mazes of optical illusions and impossible objects, manipulating the world around them in order to reach different platforms.

The puzzles are not particularly challenging, but very entertaining and soothing to play. It was great fun to solve the puzzles and enjoy the magical illusions. So if you are looking for a little lightweight distraction, these games are for you …

Secrets of Rætikon

Computers and IT, Games2d, adventure, kids, platform, puzzle, single player

Secrets of Rætikon is a 2D open-world action adventure where one controls a little bird on its way through forests, caves and mountains trying to collect relics to power some ancient device.

It’s maybe not the greatest game of all times, but it was a fun to play and explore.
Some technical issues with the full-screen mode and when playing on the Steam Deck were a bit annoying.
