I already added Pendulum to my list based on empath75's mention of it; thanks for mentioning Labyrinths, and I've added that, too.

Great list. I would add Hades and Slay the Spire.

I cannot recommend Machinarium enough. The same company also more recently made Botanicula, which I loved, but has a slightly more abstract narrative.

Any standouts you are able to link? I'd love to dive in, but I am not sure where to start.

Some more of my favorites along the same vein include Snakebird, Jelly no Puzzle, and ilomilo.

Herzog Zwei is excellent. Congrats on getting that.

I've been devouring so many good recommendations and now I am thirsty for more. So far I have obliterated:

- Hades - The Cult of The Lamb - Disco Elysium - Thimbleweed Park

But I trust people here have many good things to add to the list!

I'll have to check out Bellman's work, thanks!

Neuromancer, Count Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive. The Cukoo's Egg is good as well.

You might enjoy Caverna.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll put Wonderland on my list.

Don’t forget Crystal Caves, my favorite of that era

check out Preact and Inferno

I enjoyed both Baroque cycle and Anathem, they build slowly but I like the long-term immersion and intricacy.

dcaldwell | karma 562 | avg karma 3.6 · | 2012-02-22 11:05:20

Thanks. I'd love to know if you have any favorites.

jjcm | karma 8401 | avg karma 7.11 · | 2018-01-09 08:07:19

In terms of pure visuals, Gnomes and Goblins has been my favorite. It's immensely short, but absolutely beautiful.

chewxy | karma 4974 | avg karma 3.9 · | 2018-12-20 04:31:28

There's Gorgonia too! :)

tomcam | karma 20387 | avg karma 2.53 · | 2022-04-02 23:42:07

Yeah my favorite is definitely Pendulum.
