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

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.

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.

The Cave

The Cave is yet another Double Fine masterpiece created by Ron Gilbert. Even though I had this game since February 2013, I just got it out again to experience some of the alternate storyline and enjoy it once again.

In this extremely beautiful and fun game you have to guide three out of a pool of seven possible different characters through a talking cave. Yes, a talking cave. Nice gameplay, a great story – well seven, well fourteen stories in fact – lot’s of hidden gems, jokes and word plays .. as one is used to for Double Fine games :)

Certainly a recommendation!!!

Pilgrims

Pilgrims is yet another beauty by Amanita Design. In this great little point-and-click adventure game you have to guide an adventurer and some fellow travellers through several quests all set in a mediaeval-looking world. Once again, it’s beautifully drawn and outlined and comes with an interesting user interface as well as various different storylines to end the game.

Certainly a big recommendation for anyone that loves adventure games!!
