Genre: Puzzle

A peaceful and tactile puzzle game aimed at those who love things neat, tidy & organised. For the most part quite zen & intuitive, but solutions or controls can sometimes be a bit finnicky.

Very clever minimalist puzzler. Relaxing music under a compelling concept carried through a good amount of levels considering it was a gamejam submission.

An atmospherically unique experience with gorgeously disgusting Giger-eque art direction. I almost wish it stuck to walking & puzzles, because everything else just gets in the way. Short but good.

Visually stunning & a good step forward for the Quantic formula: multiple characters and branching narratives. The world is cool, but its thesis is a bit heavy-handed at times.

Distills the tenets of the franchise and starts fresh with the foundations of terror in a captivating setting. Now in first-person, the atmosphere is even scarier. A classic for fans of the genre.

Hugely addictive tower defense with beautiful, minimal art, from the Creative Director of Hitman GO. A lot of your energy will go into managing and mitigating RNG, but itโ€™s fair, smart & lots of fun.

Scrabble with a gamejam twist: you want to keep the board empty. Fun mechanics, cool visuals and music. Clever game.

Basically a serotonin dispenser - super fun. Pachinko dungeon crawling roguelike. Will rely on enough content being added to enable huge build diversity. Crazy, almost stupid idea, but it works.

Sadly not able to play this on the Steamdeck it was designed for, but can imagine itโ€™d be a fun little demo. Its nice seeing Valve having fun with their franchises & actually making stuff. Worth a go.
