Text/Cold Sword Young Man
Puzzle games have always been the most "old and young" type of gameplay in the history of games, the biggest feature of this type of game is that you can ignore the hardware function, let every player participate in it to personally experience the fun of solving the mystery, and the development of puzzle games has so far derived many different styles of masterpieces, if you want to see new ideas in the game, then choose this type of game is right. In this issue, we will give you ten excellent puzzle games from Amway. Each game is carefully selected, fun and unique! Conscientious recommendation, remember to like and collect~
The World in the Picture (Gorogoa)
Elegant art is often obscure, and even requires holding a microscope to capture the essence; But art that truly belongs to the public often shows its true ability, presenting exquisite visual spectacles through unique brain holes, bringing unparalleled experience. The world in the picture is such a work.
In the game, we need to observe and find the internal relationship between multiple paintings in various paintings. This intrinsic relationship may be a line or a graphic. Relationships may be formed in conjunction or nesting. Only by making full use of this relationship can the game go smoothly. And this combination of methods shows the author's unparalleled whimsy, and completes the story telling on this basis. Every time you play, you wonder, how did they design the game so creatively? If you want to get a unique visual enjoyment, but also want to improve your brain opening and observation skills, then this game is definitely worth a try.
Puddle Knights (Puddle Knights)
This is a very good and easy puzzle game.
In the game, facing the muddy road, the loyal knight needs to use the hem of his over-long clothes to pave the way for the beautiful noble lady, so that the young lady can step on the skirt and pass through the plaid gracefully, so as to ensure that the body will not be infected by sludge and maintain the noble dignity when attending the banquet for a while. But due to the knight's credo of never backing down, our straight knight in the game is a straight guy who only knows how to move forward and turn left and right. Faced with a variety of terrain that requires wisdom and challenges, we can only use terrain design to find a solution to let the lady pass the obstacles step by step. Players need to observe the details of the map reasonably, and consider in advance where the knight needs to arrive based on the characteristics of the character and environment. Then use this to reverse the course of action of the knight and the young lady until it passes the level smoothly. Of course, you can also be a down-to-earth actionist like a loyal knight, try it yourself with your own feet, and then think about how to solve difficult problems, but no matter what genre of gameplay, with simple graphics and comfortable and witty music, this is a happy puzzle journey.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons
When I learned that the famous two-person trip actually had the same famous "Brothers: Tales of Gemini" as the predecessor, I really lamented that Josef Fares, the TGA grumpy old man, was simply obsessed with two-player games.
As the predecessor of the two-person line, although this work cannot show the complete form of the later in terms of visuals, fun, etc. But for the concept of two-person cooperation, this work does show a deep and unique exploration. The most unique thing is that the game allows players to control two brothers at the same time through a single controller to complete the level collaboratively. Trying this game for the first time is like suddenly splitting your left and right brains into two brothers to cooperate, which is a very wonderful experience. Aren't many people complaining about two-person behavior, what must be played by two people? So in a sense, there are many different themes for this work, but the "youth version" that can be played alone is not impossible. If you can try it with this mindset, you'll have a unique experience.
LoveChoice
This is a very simple and cute design and ingenious love theme game. The cute and loving stick figure drawing style creates a very simple, warm and comfortable game atmosphere for us.
At the beginning of the game, we also started the game in the form of a normal galgame game. But it's actually a game that pays a lot of attention. Once you're a straight man of steel, you'll soon know how many wrong choices you've made in a simple relationship that doesn't last long. It immediately showed us the needle-like thinking of the girls. It further shows the essence of this work that seems to be a love game, but it is actually a puzzle game.
For example, in the first Straight Man of Steel ending, the end of the story will review your love past from the perspective of a girl, including feedback generated by the wrong choices you made, as well as tips and guidelines for the game. To achieve this ending, you need to start the game again with new questions and hints, with pointers to find clues to the right option. Of course, all this is not a joke, on the contrary, everything in the game is portrayed with warmth and sincerity. For this sincerity, the makers can always find some chic and down-to-earth, and brain-opening little ideas to decorate this simple but not simple story.
Perhaps, love is really like a puzzle game, right? While working hard and cooperating, making life better, and trying to untie each other's hearts. I hope you can also gain a wonderful and profound journey from it.
Machinarium
If a game can have timeless achievements across time and space, then it must have made a very good game experience in some aspects. Mechanical Maze is one such work.
From the initial PC flash version, to the widely acclaimed landing on the mobile platform and landing on the handheld platform, the mechanical maze can be described as a ceiling-like existence in the design of art design and decryption links. Although in order to achieve the mutual achievement of the two in terms of gameplay. The puzzle solving process of the game is not as obvious and superficial as some other puzzle games, which brings a relatively high level of difficulty for beginners. But the chemistry produced by the brain-opening puzzle design combined with the extremely vivid and dramatic graphic performance is not only as simple as natural immersion, but also has an irreproachable feeling that the game should be designed this way. Because of the ultimate excellence and exquisite polishing, this game will never go out of style whenever it is seen by players. Such a timeless decryption work in the history of the game, you should definitely not miss it.
Little Nightmares
This game is an immersive action puzzle game. In the dim scene, we control the cute and strong "little yellow hat" girl and embark on a highly immersive decryption adventure when everything is unknown.
In the game, we need to open the mechanism, find the way, climb up and down, just to unlock the secret of the ship that we are in when we wake up. In order not to disturb this great immersion, the game starts without even giving us any key prompts. Like the weak and helpless "Little Yellow Hat", we instinctively control the joystick and interact with everything around us. At that moment, we were on the same frequency as the protagonist of the control, and we started this journey with questions from the first step, and then invested in the game with the excellent visual atmosphere of the game and the narrative hidden under the scene and camera, which means that every scene, every interaction design, and every picture element of the game cannot be wasted, and we must perform our own duties to serve the overall game. It's clear that the game did it perfectly. As a decryption work that can also represent the ninth art, don't miss it.
Her Story
Realistic ancient picture quality, character costumes and prop scenes with a sense of the times, and an old-time computer interface paved with a sense of age. This may be the most special game in this recommendation in terms of visual appearance. It is also a game with a very special gameplay, and at the same time it can be called a game that is as retro as the graphics. But this game can bring countless fun and shock to players.
This is Her Story.
Exploring the essence of the game, we have to say that the developers of this game are actually throwing a database loaded with huge video data to players. These video materials about an interrogation are disorderly and incomplete, and the truth of the story can only be deciphered and excavated by the player himself through listening and observation, and only by finding the right clues at a certain stage can you advance the progress of the investigation. But the most clever gameplay design is often implicit. The singleness and boredom of the gameplay you see is all about building realistic and reasonable game scenes and game atmosphere, and hiding the maximum playability of the game under the iceberg. Although it is impossible to elaborate on it for the sake of non-spoilers, if you know certain keywords, you can even directly see some surveillance videos about the mystery.
Yes, in a sense, the developers hidden behind the layers of the maze give players absolute fairness. And for the evening, this is a windfall that can only be discovered when you realize that this is just a replay of the entire game. The clever story and impressive reversals will surely implicitly guide your reasoning deciphering route in his predetermined direction. Only when you look back at the video will you realize how small and ingenious the developer has done to escape your eyes. This is the gameplay of this game. If you're confident in your observation skills, be sure to challenge this game.
Cube Escape Collection
The Escape Cube series can be described as a series of works that "always deliberately build a limited framework, but never take an unusual path".
As a point-and-click puzzle game with very conventional controls, the game limits our perspective to a box from the beginning. The closed perspective is not excessive, but the continuous sense of oppressive atmosphere first lays a solid foundation for the game's tricky abort. Although it is a puzzle game that can be completed with observation and association, this work always creates a dazzling and potentially black plot from the results produced after decryption and the means of decryption. As a detective solving a murder case, the player not only sometimes encounters some dangers, but also encounters weird and terrifying decryption and story unfolding. Some clues in extreme cases in this series even need to be found in another game in the same series, or go to the game's official website to find and call to get. It can be seen that at the beginning of the development of the mobile version, this series is very skilled in breaking the player's fourth wall.
Of course, such a painstaking work, the experience of the game process is naturally wonderful, every decryption link is carefully designed, satisfying the weird suspense atmosphere, while the fun and challenge are excellent. It is also a must-see in puzzle games.
Endless Travel Map (Carto)
I have to say that if you just look at the name, you will not think that this is such a cute puzzle game!
The little girl in the game wakes up from the island due to a plane accident, and by collecting maps that can really change the structure of the terrain, and stitching them together according to the rules, she embarks on an adventure to find her grandmother, and the name of the game, Endless Travel Map, is also taken from this core gameplay. I have to say that changing the order of the puzzle can really change the map scene where the reality is really very good. While collecting and trying to decrypt the stitching, while broadening the scope of actual exploration under your feet, it also has a very novel sense of exploration and participation. With the comfortable and cute picture book style graphics of this work, the whole game brings players an experience that is really relaxed and comfortable for all ages. The splicing between maps is not only the only solution to the game design, but also greatly brings a different kind of terrain and space interaction to the exploration process of the game, full of freshness. Some of the tasks surrounding this design are even more interesting. Not to be missed by players who like easy decryption.
CandleMan
As an excellent domestic decryption adventure game, Candle Man has launched an excellent action-adventure journey for players through the perspective of finding the meaning of life through a candle that will eventually burn out. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to call it the Candle Man Odyssey.
In the eyes of a confused candle, the human world is huge, full of risks and bizarre. The game also presents us with many beautiful and dreamy worlds. They perfectly interpret the theme of light and shadow. In such a scene, the confused little candle gets the direction of the way forward by lighting itself, but lighting itself means burning life. Therefore, it must not be continuously illuminated. We can only seize the moment when the fire lights up to determine the direction, find a way out in the changeable and dangerous scene, and bravely move forward. Interestingly, the collection element along the way is to light other candles in the scene. If we think of the protagonist's small candle as a soulful being, the kind of people who encounter along the way that do not move and do not think seem to have other interesting meanings. And we illuminate them with our limited lives and continue to move forward, but they will only stay where they are and wait for the burn out. When you think about it, the expression of this work is really excellent. I hope you can also find a different understanding in the interesting decoding action adventure of this game!
So the above are all ten excellent puzzle games that can be played on Steam in this issue! The above inventory certainly can't cover all the great works, so what other great puzzle games have you played?
