If you enjoyed The Witness but wish it had more of a story to grasp onto like Braid, then you might find Tunic weirdly cathartic. This is a really special puzzle game that inspired a sort of lean-my-head-back-and-stare-at-the-ceiling-since-I-can't-comprehend-how-cool-what's-on-screen-is wonder that I hadn't felt in a very long time - not even while playing Outer Wilds.

There's also passable Souls-style combat if you enjoy that, but if you don't then don't be afraid to use the difficulty modifiers! The game's not perfect but it's worth the struggle - don't look anything up and if you do make sure it's a gentle spoiler free guide.

Also the soundtrack is god-tier. Lifeformed already had some bangers on the Dustforce soundtrack but they really outdid themselves here (along with Power Up Audio's gorgeous sound design). "Flux Is On" has been top of the playlist for over a year now.
