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.
Hollow Knight is a beautiful and, in parts, ridiculously hard 2D platform action-adventure game in which players must guide the main character, the Knight, through a maze of underground worlds and districts, fighting numerous bosses along the way.
The game is extremely captivating and addictive, but also frustrating at times due to the high number of failures. It also brought back nice memories of the Ori games as well as Unbound: Worlds Apart. I’m not sure how to achieve things like finishing the game in under five hours, given that it took me over fifty hours to explore everything.
Anyway, I loved playing the game and I’m looking forward to playing part two at some point.

Vessel is a fun little puzzle-platform game where one has to guide the main character through various puzzles in a world bullied by so-called Fluros (in fact created by the main character himself).
The graphics is maybe not the greatest, but I had lots of fun with the gameplay / skills of the character and the puzzles, so you might want to give it a go …
Lost in Play is extremely cute point-and-click adventure game where you have to control two siblings on their journey back home. Everything takes place in a mixture of real and fantasy worlds with not too-hard but fun puzzle to solve. Certainly fun to play and a definite recommendation if you are looking for a family puzzle/adventure game.

Thimbleweed Park is a point-and-click adventure like from the good old times :)
Like in Maniac Mansion or Day of the Tentacle one plays several nicely crafted characters in different times, yet all in a small town called Thimbleweed Park.
As in the classics, one gets a beautifully written story; lots of easter eggs and jokes; fun, crazy and some difficult puzzles to solve; and great (old school) graphics and sound / voice acting.
It’s been a real treat and I had to try both game modes (hard and casual) right one after the other » highly recommended !!!
