Inside (2016)
a perfect yet depressing game
This is probably as close to perfection in a game we will get. It's a 2D puzzle platformer where you play as a young boy. You don't know anything. Is the boy the only one left with a free mind? Is the world ending? You know nothing. If you pay attention to what happens around you. You may be able to piece together what happened here.
The puzzles are also fair and satisfying to solve, and they even strengthen the story!
This is definitely a slower-paced game. If you want high octanel gameplay, this is not what you're looking for, but will still fall in love with either way.
Silent Hill 2 (2001)
an amazing and horrifying experience
Words cannot say how much i adore this game. It handles horror and puzzles like nothing I've seen before. When i play horror games like Resident evil(which is a game a also love) I only get scared in the heat of the moment, always expecting another jumpscare. Silent Hill 2 does not have this. It creates this intense and uncomfortable atmosphere that affect me even after i had done a playsession! I always have a sense of dread when i open a door, feeling scared as to what lay behind that door. The only other game that managed to do that was Outlast.
The other thing this game does masterfully is the puzzle design. Every puzzle is a riddle. You have to run around an area finding items or clues as to how to do a puzzle. An example: Early in the game you get a puzzle where you have to place three coins in the correct order, before you get to place the coins, you read a note. This note holds the answer to what order to place the coins in. The player quickly realizes that, and gets to work. Depending on what difficulty you chose, the puzzle will either be fairly easy or mind bending.
And don't get me started on the story. The story is written with so much thought. Each time you play through the game, why things happen start to get even more clear to you. I won't spoil anything, though.
Tl;dr The game is a masterpiece please play it.
