As a young dolphin you swim through vast, dangerous oceans to rescue your vanished family. It blends exploration, puzzles and tricky underwater action with an unusual, melancholic atmosphere and a notoriously high difficulty.

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A tough platformer where you switch at will between a cute and a dark dream world to get past obstacles and enemies. Tight controls, retro-style difficulty and a strong soundtrack define the experience.

Turok: Dinosaur Hunter

Focus on a single character

A classic late-90s first-person shooter in which you play a time-travelling warrior hunting dinosaurs through sprawling jungle levels, searching for keys and secrets. A wild arsenal and maze-like level design define the experience.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within

Puzzles and brain teasers

A much grittier sequel where the Prince flees the relentless Dahaka and leaps between past and present on the Island of Time. Acrobatic traversal, time-rewinding powers and a deeper dual-weapon combat system define it, backed by a heavy metal soundtrack.

Animal Well

Puzzles and brain teasers

A dense, interconnected pixel-art labyrinth packed with secrets, where a handful of tools unlock clever puzzles. Its cute look hides an eerie atmosphere, and the deepest mysteries reward real puzzle-solving and curiosity.

Titan Souls

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A minimalist boss-rush adventure where you have a single arrow and one hit point. Each titan is a puzzle of timing, positioning and trial and error, set in a quiet pixel-art world.

The Explorator

Pure single-player experience

An adventure about exploring mysterious zones beneath the ruins of Atlantis, facing dangers to uncover valuable treasures. I know little about this game, so the rating is conservative.

Blackthorne

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A grim cinematic platformer in the vein of Prince of Persia: as Kyle Blackthorne you climb, take cover and shotgun your way through mines and fortresses on the planet Tuul. Precise timing, cover-based gunfights and light puzzles define its unforgiving pace.

Tunic

Puzzles and brain teasers

A tiny fox explores a mysterious Zelda-like world with demanding, Souls-inspired combat. Its true heart is a scattered in-game manual written in an unknown script, whose pages gradually reveal layered secrets and brain-bending puzzles.

He Who Watches

Puzzles and brain teasers

A first-person puzzle game where you walk on walls and bend gravity to work through an ancient labyrinth of intricate puzzles and secrets, with an imprisoned god waiting at its heart.
