The Witness

It took Jonathan Blow something like eight years and all the money he made on Braid, but The Witness ($40 on Steam) finally released this year—and it was worth the wait. You might say “It’s just a bunch of line puzzles” and, well, I can’t argue. But they’re great line puzzles, and engaging with the game on its terms (a.k.a. learning the mechanics piecemeal through experimentation) is incredibly satisfying.

If you need more to hook you than mere puzzles, The Talos Principle ($40 on Amazon, though often on sale cheaper via Steam) is still an excellent game and has a bit more narrative framework. But I hold The Witness in equal esteem
