DARQ

Computers and IT, Games, , , ,

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, Games, , , , ,

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.

Secrets of Rætikon

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.

And Yet It Moves

Computers and IT, Games, , ,

And Yet It Moves is a tricky little puzzle-platform game with a very interesting game concept and lot’s of great – and sometimes annoying – challenges to solve.
In the game you have to guide an anonymous fella through a seemingly paper-cut world, but either walking and jumping or by rotating the whole world, yet keeping in mind always-present gravity and – even more important – momentum conservation.
AYIM dates back already to 2010, but it’s still lots of fun to play .. definitely a recommendation.

Labyrinth City: Pierre the Maze Detective

Labyrinth City: Pierre the Maze Detective is a fun little puzzle / hide-and-seek game for in between and great for younger kids too. Fun little story, lots of nice drawings and animations, side stories and hidden treasures in this adventure. Kind of a gamified ‘Where’s Wally’/’Wimmelbuch’ experience that’s certainly fun.
