A visually striking Lovecraftian metroidvania about diving into murder victims' dying memories, undercut at launch by clunky controls and poor optimisation the developer never fully resolved before formally announcing, in a farewell post nearly two years later, that support had ended for good.
6 / 10
A mythic archer-and-eagle adventure from the makers of ABZÛ, praised for a genuinely fluid flow-based movement system and gorgeous presentation, undercut by puzzle content reviewers repeatedly describe as repetitive and disconnected from that same movement system it was supposed to showcase.
6 / 10
A beloved puzzle series pivots toward action, and splits its own audience The Rewinder 2 follows a well-regarded puzzle-adventure rooted in Chinese folklore and mythology, and it i
6 / 10
The Sexy Brutale traps a masquerade mansion's guests in a repeating 12-hour loop of murder, tasking the player with learning each death down to the second and rerouting fate to save them. Its atmosphere, music, and worldbuilding earn genuine, specific praise, while an unusually large share of reviewers describe the puzzles underneath that atmosphere as too simple, too linear, and undercut by a widely disliked ending twist.

A Tokyo Workshop, One Cluttered Box at a Time The Sorting Bureau, from developer Apelsinka Games, launched as a full 1.0 release on August 21, 2026 after a demo period that stretch

Seven years in the making, for a divided reception True Fear: Forsaken Souls Part 3 closes out a psychological horror point-and-click trilogy that began as a hidden-object game and
6 / 10
A gorgeous, hand-illustrated cozy adventure built on Ukrainian artist Oksana Bula's beloved Tukoni books, whose storybook presentation consistently outshines a short, mechanically thin puzzle structure that even many fans admit doesn't push back.
6 / 10
A cozy, hand-drawn adventure about guiding a frog named Froggo home through a world of sticky-note puzzles, Very Positive across 52 English reviews for its charming art style and novel puzzle mechanic, with a widely repeated complaint that its puzzles are too easy and its runtime too short relative to its price.
6 / 10
A straight Steam re-release of the 1998 Nintendo/PC puzzle cult classic about raising terrain to hold back constant rain, published by trademark-holder Piko Interactive with no review corpus yet to check it against.

Two Tiny RC Cars, One Missing Professor, and a House-Sized Maze to Explore WheelMates casts you and a co-op partner as a pair of remote-control cars answering a call for help from

A Rule for Every Room, and a Punishment for Believing It White Rooms builds its entire identity around a single, mean little trick: every stark, minimalist room teaches the player
6 / 10
A solo-developed roguelike deckbuilder that replaces cards with a spellbook and a randomly generated puzzle board of linkable gems, whose genuinely fresh core concept and charming presentation earn real devotion, tempered by a remarkably consistent complaint — echoed even by many positive reviewers — that the board's randomness can leave players punished through no fault of their own, especially at higher difficulty tiers.

Aurora Hills: Chapter 2 is a $7.99 atmospheric point-and-click mystery adventure from developer and publisher NovaSoft Interactive Ltd., continuing park ranger Ethan Hill's investigation into a wave of disappearances, and this review's large, Overwhelmingly Positive sample praises its haunting 1980s atmosphere while noting real complaints about tedious backtracking and a story that ends on a cliffhanger requiring a future chapter.
5.9 / 10
Photographing Color Back Into a Black-and-White World, One Cat at a Time Cat Me If You Can builds its entire premise around a simple, charming hook: explore handcrafted, black-and-
5.9 / 10
Oslo Albet's official Steam port of the third flash-era co-op classic adds a slippery, momentum-based ice twist that reviewers find genuinely harder and more satisfying, but this entry is also the first in the series to draw repeated reports of crash bugs.
5.9 / 10
A tiny wall-climbing gecko explores a sun-baked archipelago of ancient puzzles in this chill, occasionally jank-riddled adventure.
5.9 / 10
A first-person, co-op-friendly escape room set in a cursed convent, praised for its atmosphere and clever, hand-crafted puzzles, but hampered by a single long environment with no mid-session save and a persistent 90-minute timer.
5.9 / 10
OLKON Games' psychological-thriller adventure earns real praise for its story, atmosphere, and soundtrack, but reviewers repeatedly flag the same problem: a game that builds toward something and then simply stops.

Cybersecurity as the Mechanic, Not the Skin Cyber Academy puts the player inside a fictional, self-contained virtual operating system and asks them to actually do the cybersecurity
5.8 / 10
A Ludum Dare 48 toy that inverts the usual chess puzzle app — instead of solving a mate-in-N problem, you build one from an empty board and a tray of spare pieces, and a client-side Stockfish confirms whether you actually pulled it off.
5.8 / 10
A short, simple, family-friendly hidden-object mystery that most reviewers on both sides of the aggregate agree is enjoyable while it lasts — but too brief and too generic in its story for many to call it worth the full asking price.
5.8 / 10
A short, charming spatial-packing puzzle game about stuffing oddly-shaped items into boxes for a community of demanding raccoon customers.
5.8 / 10
Senpie is a $4.99 pie-making shopkeeper game from developer StudioGrok that markets itself as a simple granny-run bakery, but this review found a richer yokai-and-anime "spirit bakery" concept hiding underneath, confirmed only by the developer's own extensive devlog history against a single, detailed, largely positive review.
