The Gardens Between - I played this on XB1 - time manipulation puzzler. Toki Tori 2 - I haven't played this one yet, but loved the first one, and it's on my list of games to buy! Apparently it is more of a metroidvania take on Toki Tori 1 (which you mentioned you've played). World of Goo - classic puzzle game - probably better on mobile / tablet though! Tricky Towers - I don't have this one yet, but it's high on my list of party games to acquire! Puyo Puyo Tetris (demo or full game) - another great competitive puzzle game (can play multiplayer with the demo!) Multiplayer looks fun, but it's limited to 2 players (1 vs 1), so I haven't really tried it. Have started the story mode (which is supposedly pretty extensive), but it hasn't grabbed me as much as Tumblestone. Sushi Striker - another matching style game.

Highly recommended as a party game, if you and your friends are into this sort of competitive puzzle game! It also has a dead simple 'weighting' mechanism, for evening the playing field. I've been playing through the story mode on the bus (good game for commuting!), which some might find boring - but the great part about it is that you can use the 'party mode' option to unlock the whole game (all modes) for multiplayer. Tumblestone - great little match three style competitive puzzler. Snipperclips - another co-op puzzler, but I like Death Squared better Another good party game - especially when a little drunk, and accidentally killing each other! lol Another little co-op platforming title.ĭeath Squared - fun co-op puzzler. Super Chariot - bought this after trying the demo, but haven't played it yet. Unravel 2 - played this on XB1 with the wife. Untitled Goose Game - great little stealth puzzle game, where you play as an annoying goose! Grim Fandango Remastered - haven't played it yet, but another classic adventure game Thimbleweed Park - fun point and click adventure game by Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island). Sort of like a box-shifting game, but in 3D! A short, but fun little puzzle room game. 2 - haven't played it yet, but I enjoyed the first one. Awesome game! First person puzzle rooms, with a philosophical narrative about AI and sentience.

Talos Principle - just played through on XB1. Into the Breach - haven't got this yet, but this is probably no.1 on my list of games I'm waiting for a good sale!īaba Is You - this is probably no.2 on my list!
