Donut County
Annapurna Interactive's Donut County is a story-based puzzler where you play as a racoon who is in control of a perpetually growing hole. The aim is straightforward, devour the entirety of the titular county and watch the hole grow bigger and bigger.
Besides that, you will occasionally need to catapult objects back out of the hole to solve numerous puzzles. In the hole itself, you can combine items, cook soup, breed rabbits, and even launch fireworks. It's all wrapped up in an affable aesthetic that makes Donut County a charming puzzler.
Bejeweled 3
Chances are you've probably heard the name Bejeweled before since the tile-matching puzzler has risen in popularity over the years. The premise is simple. You swap two gems that are sitting next to each other to form a line of three or more gems of the same colour. When that happens, that line will vanish, and more will randomly fall onto the board from above.
It's a fairly Zen experience, and if you find yourself unable to find a match, you can use the hint system without fear of a penalty. There's plenty of replay value in the game too. There are eight game modes to enjoy, so if you're tired of regular Bejeweled, you can give one of those a try.
Bridge Constructor Portal
Bridge Constructor Portal takes elements from Valve's popular first-person puzzler and combines them with building mechanics. You play as a new employee in the Aperture Science test lab and are tasked with building bridges, ramps and slides in the facility's numerous test chambers.
Of course, you can also use portals, propulsion gel, faith plates, and other mainstays from the Portal series to help construct a route through each room. Each stage will test your intelligence while everybody's favourite robot GlaDOS narrates your adventure.
Superliminal
If you enjoy mind-bending puzzlers, you will definitely want to check out Superliminal. Played in first-person, the game sees you trapped in a dream, and the only way out is to solve a series of puzzles that draw inspiration from optical illusions.
We've all seen the pictures where people manipulate perspective, so it looks like they're holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, right? Superliminal takes that concept and uses it to create several puzzles with zany solutions. A regular-sized exit sign could become a ramp, while a dice viewed from the right angle could become heavy enough to break through a weakened floor. It's an interesting experience you have to try.
Unpacking
Unpacking takes the stress away from a big house move by making it virtual and wrapping it up in a cosy aesthetic. The goal is simple. Move house and find a place for all your possessions in your new home. Essentially, it's a block-fitting puzzler with an overarching story told throughout eight house moves.
Unlike some puzzlers, Unpacking is unlikely to cause much frustration. In fact, it's an incredibly relaxing experience. You're free to progress through the story at your preferred pace, and the mellow soundtrack that accompanies you reassures you that there's no need to rush.
