Bionic Bay is 2D platform puzzle game where one has to help a scientist escape a world filled with trap. To solve puzzles and circumvent hazards, one learn abilities such as swapping places with objects, punching objects, slowing down time and flipping gravity.
It’s been extreme fun to struggle with something challenging, so it’s a definite recommendation.

Jusant is a nice and calm 3D puzzle platform game, where one has to climb a desolate tower, filled with the remains of a long-gone civilization.
Given there’s no enemies, no dialogs, just some letters and notes from people long past and a few ruins and altars to discover, it’s indeed an extremely calm game living mainly through its nice graphics, environmental storytelling and nice game mechanics.
Maybe not for everyone, but I liked it a lot to just relax for couple of minutes here and there …

Journey is a beautiful, calm, 3D platform adventure with an interesting co-op twist. You can team up with another random player and embark on the journey together, but you can’t really communicate with them. Besides this co-op idea, limited jumps, depending on the charge of one’s magical scarf, are another interesting gameplay element.
Whether alone or teamed up, one has to guide a robed figure through various levels/regions toward a distant mountain, using only notes/chimes to communicate with the environment (or the other players).
It’s been extremely enjoyable, also trying to communicate and collaborate with the other players, all without chatting. A definite recommendation …
