Ouros is a fun, calm, geometry-based puzzle game that is also available on mobile phones. To solve the puzzles, you have to drag curves and splines into the correct shapes, and position crossings, wormholes, and other objects so that you can traverse a set of numbers in the right order.
Fun little brain teaser …

Sable is a calm and kids-friendly 3D open-world exploration and puzzle adventure game using a very peculiar comic-like graphics style. In the game, one has to control Sable, a young girl who sets out on a journey of self-discovery as she searches for an appropriate mask (profession) and returns to her nomadic clan. Exploring the ruined desert planet of Midden, Sable encounters several characters who help her find her place in the world, as well as giving her several tasks that often involve solving puzzles and platforming through rock formations or ancient ruins.
Maybe except for some small graphics bugs, some weird driving mechanics here and there, it’s been a really enjoyable and calm journey, all wrapped in a nice little story .. kind of like playing a nice book.

NightSky is a puzzle-platform video game where one has to guide a sphere through various world using realistic physics and properties like magnetism, stopping and acceleration power.
Peppered with numerous obstacles, the levels offer plenty of puzzle fun in two variations each.
Despite some frustration here and there, I have certainly enjoyed the little silhouette puzzle treat.

Tall Trails was my cosy Christmas game for 2025. It’s certainly not a triple-A game, but it’s a fun and quick open-world exploration game in which you have to guide Alp, a little golem, on a quest to find his purpose.
You can (and have to) climb peaks (and sometimes weird/random objects), collect items and unlock different looks, styles and abilities in either a predefined standard world or randomly generated worlds. To collect all achievements, you will need to play multiple worlds.
As said, it’s simple yet fun, and therefore still recommended.

Oddworld: New’n’Tasty! is complete remake of 1997 teenage classic Oddworld: Abe’s_Oddysee and lots of fun to play. Just like the original, New’n’Tasty is a sidescrolling platform video game where one has to guide the main character, Abe, through various locations/levels and solve puzzles to free Abe’s fellow Mudokons.
Loads of nice designed levels, puzzles and videos in between as well as great gameplay make New’n’Tasty a lot of fun to play and a definite recommendation.
