WhiteHowler posted:Hexcells / Hexceed - Do you like Minesweeper? Well, this is MUCH better Minesweeper. I'd recommend picking up Hexceed for free on Steam, then dropping a few bucks on a huge pack of new levels if you enjoy it. WhiteHowler posted:Superliminal - Another non-linear environment game along the lines of Antichamber. I haven't played this one yet, but I've seen good feedback on it. dirby fucked around with this message at 04:15 on Jun 6, 2021 |

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:OCTOPTICOM is another good one under spatial manipulation. It involves manipulating beams of colored light to produce various output images. I think the steam preview image is pretty illustrative: Thanks for sharing this! The look of OCTOPTICOM reminds me a bit of the old Chromatron, which it seems was far from the first game with colored lasers, according to the article Reflections on a Design. dirby fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Jun 7, 2021 |

Pigbuster posted:Tandis is out! It rules! Actually playing it feels as cool as I was hoping, it feels really natural to squoosh these simple shapes into the solution. Or into geometric nightmares.

I just discovered "Bombe", which I almost want to call "Mathematician's Minesweeper". Basically, you make a claim like "If a region with 2 bombs intersects a region with 1 bomb, leaving only one cell left over, that one cell contains a bomb", the computer checks if that's always true, and either gives you a counterexample or adds it to your list of rules that are automatically applied to all puzzles going forward. So you're programming a minesweeper solver one deduction rule at a time. It's a great idea, and the auto-checking of your proposed rules is lovely to have. The one unfortunate thing is that the interface is unintuitive, and looks real bad. Once you figure out how to do things, making rules like the one above isn't hard. But you'll always have unneeded stuff on screen and not every quality of life feature and the initial learning curve was rough. Maybe watch a video like this over reading instructions in-game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2ShHxPg3UY

Discendo Vox posted:edit: yeah, the rule system can't contain the power of my five-step deductions, I've got to be able to have a way to compress these somehow. dirby fucked around with this message at 11:10 on Jun 19, 2023 |

Argue posted:edit: what's the full version get me? I've been playing 6 hours and am still on the demo Solving most of the demo is likely to buy you two variables in the full game. And even one variable is a game-changer where you'll want to back up and then refresh your rules (and why not the levels, too) to start over with a streamlined variable-using ruleset. Resetting levels or rules does not remove any of your unlocks.

WhiteHowler posted:I've been playing through the Rusty Lake games the past couple of weeks. It's an excellent puzzle/adventure series with a creepy backstory. (Also some other puzzle games that I think no one has spoken about in this thread like Line Path, Slap The Rocks, and Colorgrid. I have no idea how any of those are, though.) dirby fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Oct 30, 2023 |

As someone who never got around to finishing Talos 1, it seems like there's enough discussion of Talos 2 to warrant its own thread.

I haven't gotten to try it yet, but Epigraph sounds like an excellent language-dechiphering puzzle at around 10 hours. It's also $3 US.
