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 …
Little Nightmares II is – just like its predecessor, to which it is a prequel – an absolutely beautiful and fantastic, scary, puzzle-platform horror adventure game. This time one guides a little boy, later joined by the girl know from part one, through dark yet beautifully crafted levels.
I’m definitely not a big fan of horror games and had my moments with both parts, but once again, it’s been an absolute delight playing this game and I do look forward to playing part three, apparently coming out in 2025.

Planet of Lana is a beautifully crafted 2D puzzle platformer in which you must guide a girl named Lana and her little cat-like friend in their fight against a robot army invading their home planet.
A wonderful story told without any real words, really nice graphics and a memorable soundtrack with matching soundscapes made this game a lot of fun to play. Maybe not the hardest puzzles and not the longest game, but I am very happy to have found this gem.
Toki Tori 2+ is a beautiful and entertaining 2D puzzle platformer. Like its predecessor, Toki Tori, it’s full of challenging little (and not so little) puzzles, but with beautifully crafted new graphics, new gameplay and new abilities.
This time around, Toki Tori has to find and collect wings and different flavours of frogs in a variety of levels filled with different monsters and animals. There are also lots of achievements to collect, although I haven’t come close to collecting them all yet.
All in all, it’s a definite recommendation if you like puzzle platformers.

Toki Tori is a tricky and fun little 2D puzzle-platformer that’s been around since the Game Boy Color and has recently found its way back onto my gaming list.
In the game, you have to guide a young chick, Toki Tori, to save its unhatched younger siblings. To do this, you can use six different abilities, sometimes limited in the number of times they can be used in each level, to master five different worlds, each with its own features, looks and obstacles.
Some of the puzzles really did cost me a few nerves, but it was quite a throwback and a lot of fun. Which now brings me (back) to Toki Tori 2+ …
