Give me more games like Animal Well, please.
Chants of Sennaar was great! Had an absolute blast trying to work my way through it. I probably sounded like I was playing Baba Is You when trying to wrap my head around the glyphs (?) and the messages they try to convey.
Figuring out the symbols, their meaning and then using them properly to translate between different people was surprisingly rewarding and fun. I wouldn’t have minded if the game had a bit more gameplay, but at least it didn’t overstay it’s welcome.
I loved the grammar differences between the languages. Like where the negation glyphs go, or pluralisation. It always made me happy when I struggled with the translations, and then renumbered stuff like “Bards place the subject before the verb!”
Out of this list I’ve played (in order)
Fez
Outer Wilds
Return of the obra dinn
Blue prince
Outer Wilds was my favorite of the bunch. I didn’t know anything about it and went in blind. It’s gotta be in my top 5 favorite games, if not number 1.
Subnautica felt similar due to the exploration element. I wish there were more games like this.
Does the witness not qualify?
Ooo, I think it would be:
- Incremental Deduction
- Adventure
- (maybe?) Language and Translation
Not enough learn action adventure games to my liking.
Definitely checking every single one of these though.
Agree. Outer Wilds is my favorite game and all the others in that section aren’t far behind.
That is, except for Ultros, which is a game I’ve heard about before but didn’t know it belonged in this category of games. I guess I know what I have to check out next.
Well, thanks for bringing Epigraph to my attention!
Fez Is the only game I ever 100% in my life and it is a well polished masterpiece.
I own hundreds of games and put around 4k hours into Factorio but still recommend Fez to anyone.
I am saving this post because I sense a lot of “potential” here.
How long did you spend on the monolith puzzle before looking it up?
Can’t remember but I definitely used a guide to reach 100%
