Knowledge Based Rules

Outer Wilds changed my life then Tunic changed it again

Edit: Game Recommendations by the people in the comments:

And some game recommendations by me to add on to the post:

  • Taiji
    • A 2D puzzle game where you slowly unravel how to solve each different element of the puzzles, eventually culminating in a massive puzzle gauntlet. Basically identical in concept and execution to The Witness, but still very much its own unique and fun game.
  • The Golden Idol
    • A puzzle game where each level you must examine a scene to figure out exactly what happened, eventually piecing together the full story over several levels. Don't let the art style put you off, it's an incredibly well done game. Most similar to Return of the Obra Dinn in concept.
  • Stories: The Path of Destinies
    • an action RPG with a branching choice-driven storyline, but not every story has a happy ending... You'll piece together the true story over multiple playthroughs and eventually find the one true path. It wasn't a particularly life-changing game but it was still a lot of fun and worth checking out if it sounds interesting!

noita

Noita's genre may as well be Trial and Error.

I'll mention Fez since I think people forgot about it in the wake of all the Phil Phish drama.

Excellent game that I think fits this bill.

I still think about the Heart Cube puzzle with the observatory and red stars in that game sometimes.

Disco Elysium!

There is a framed picture of Kim Kitsuragi in my parent's house, maybe I should actually play it...

Eh really?!

Now I want one.

Smorty ,

Outer wilds is soooo good, so thank you for reminding me that tunic exists, I'll get that one now.

Ashen44 OP ,

do it do it do it do it do it it's so good

Smorty ,

I just got it and wow it's real interesting. I got that one big golden thingy to spew out magical lines and stuff, and I got my sword, currently seeking that shield.

Ashen44 OP ,

Good luck, and remember: always read the manual!

MrGerrit ,

Tunic was incredible, what they did with the manual was just, great.

Ashen44 OP ,

It was so unique! I found myself getting extremely excited whenever I would see that glowing page because it was always a treat to see what new knowledge they would give me next!

Lingo too! Gosh I wish I could forget Lingo and play through it again.

Ashen44 OP ,

I experienced Lingo through my friend discord streaming their playthrough of it. It's an awesome game but my goodness did we have to have a thesaurus open for some of the puzzles! I definitely would recommend anyone reading this check it out though, it's incredibly unique! I'd say the closest game in terms of vibes is Antichamber, but with word puzzles.

Didn't think while reading and got 'I want to fuck(ing) fellas' and I concur

Ashen44 OP ,

yeah that too

verenor ,

Probably not for everyone here but 'I was a Teenage Exocolonist' is one of the best games in that category I ever played. You feel the developer's love in every character and storyline and being able to have so many different outcomes really made it feel special.

Ashen44 OP ,

I have it on my wishlist but I've put off buying it because I thought it was just a visual novel. I'll have to check it out now!
