Any good games that break the mold (lemmy.world)

It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing "Return of the Obra Dihn" and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I'm actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don't coddle the player that you guys recommend?

The main thing to know about Inscryption is that you wanna know as little as possible about Inscryption before you play.

Also if Inscryption works for you, check out the other Daniel Mullins games. He's got mould-breaking down to his own quirky idiosyncratic science.

I loved Inscryption and thought there’s no way his other games could top it, but holy shit… The Hex is an absolute MASTAPIECE. I’m so psyched for his next Pony Island game.
