Fifteen years ago, Capcom introduced gamers to a unique blend of narrative and gameplay with Ghost Trick, a puzzle game that remains unmatched in its creativity. Developed by Shu Takumi, the mind behind the Ace Attorney series, Ghost Trick invites players to step into the ethereal shoes of Sissel, a spirit on a mission to uncover the mystery of his own death while saving others. This innovative premise not only hooks players but also showcases how a compelling story can elevate gameplay.

In the realm of indie games, few titles capture the essence of creativity and relaxation like “The Artisan of Glimmith.” This cozy puzzle game invites players to immerse themselves in a world where they can color stained glass and restore the kingdom’s artistic heritage. The game stands out not just for its charming aesthetics but also for its thoughtfully designed puzzles that encourage exploration and creativity. What makes “The Artisan of Glimmith” particularly intriguing is its approach to game design.

In an era where video games are increasingly used as a medium for social commentary, MythMatch stands out as a unique blend of puzzle mechanics and a narrative that challenges capitalism while promoting community building. Set in a whimsical version of ancient Greece, players take on the role of Artemis, navigating a world filled with institutionalized sexism and tech bros, all while merging items to create new beasts and objects that aid in the quest for a more progressive society.
