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.

Lego Bricktales is calm and relaxing puzzle adventure game – maybe mostly for fan of interconnecting plastic bricks – in which you have to help your grand father to rebuild an amusement park by solving puzzle in five different worlds. Do do so one has to learn and use multiple abilities, find treasure chests and (hidden) items, and help multiple non-playable characters in the different realms.
If you like playing with bricks – I certainly do (models, BYOPD) – it’s been fun to play and it’s a recommendation for in between more stressful games …

Caravan SandWitch is a relaxing, calm and enjoyable open world-adventure where one has to guide main character Sauge through a post-apocalyptic world on her quest to find her missing sister, Garance.
If you are in need to solve some not-too-hard puzzles walking and driving around in a beautifully designed and peaceful (you cannot die in the game) animated world, then this is your game … enjoy (I did)!

What the Car? is – just like its older sibling ‘What the Golf?‘ – is simply hilarious (and I repeat myself on purpose). In some cases even ridiculous, yet extreme fun to play (I think).
In its core a racing game, one has to steer a wide variety of ‘cars’ through mazes and landscapes to beat the time and find hidden items on (almost) all tracks.
Once again, definitely a recommendation for a some entertaining minutes (or hours, if you’re after achievements) in between. Enjoy …
