There's loads of puzzle games that are great for this! Off the top of my head, check out Lorelei and the Laser eyes, the recent Monkey Island, Case of the Golden Monkey, the two Talos Principle games, maybe The Witness?
- InsideOutSanta 2y agoCase of the Golden Monkey sounds fascinating, but almost too secretive. It's an Idol, not a Monkey :-) Excellent list! I'd also add The Crimson Diamond to it.
- coldpie 2y agoHah. Well, at least I didn't write Curse...
- jsheard 2y agoThe Outer Wilds (not The Outer Worlds) is also a fantastic game along those lines. Don't read too much about it, you want to go in as blind as possible.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 2y agoI am not sure how well a non gamer would take it. I recall some tricky platforming or timing sections which would be too much. As a matter of fact, I recall I had to cheat to lookup the solution to a puzzle or two, only to discover I had the right idea, but was executing it too poorly to work.
- jsheard 2y agoFWIW they did go back and refine some of the puzzles after launch, so depending on when you played it might be smoother now.
- grraaaaahhh 2y agoI'd add Chants of Sennaar to this list. It's similar to Case of the Golden Idol/Obra Dinn in that the entire game is about making deductions about the game world, but in this case it's about decoding fantasy languages.
