Baba Is You

This is truly a unique game. Very simple rules, no timer, just an objective and a "toolbox" of bendable rules to reach it. It's almost like a programming language in that sense... The game has a certain "syntax" for rule bending and that makes it intellectually stimulating, unlike endless matching or puzzle games with no clear objective other than to guess what the dev was thinking. Also, few if any ads. I am hard person to please, and I love this game. I'm hooked on it! 😊😎

Each area has around 10 puzzles and you're able to "pass" the area by completing around half of them. This is very helpful since a lot of the puzzles appear impossible at first glance. Each area has a theme/rule/mechanic that is introduced and elaborated upon as you progress so when you get stuck you can learn by solving an adjacent level. The game has good music, good controls, and good puzzles using a variety of different mechanics.

I love puzzle games. Raced through Portal. Played the Room games multiple times. This game is for a different type of person. If you find that you challenge yourself in stressful ways, this is your game. There's a ton of potential, but the puzzles don't build in a well paced way. They introduce a mechanic just enough to have you looking forward to puzzles playing with it, then they move on to something else. It felt rushed with no real pay off. Also, the difficulty varied oddly.
