The Whispered World: Special Edition

The devs said it themselves...

...or at least the main character did. "That's so crazy... I don't even know why I try. Do I really want to live in a world where actions like that are rewarded?" The devs have no respect for their players' or their players' time. With solutions like that, and worse, my answer to the main character's question is a resounding "No." Please do yourself a favor and do not buy this game. If you're dying to know what the frankly boring story is, look up a video playthrough instead. The pacing is atrocious, too. Everything takes a backseat to the nonsensical puzzles, including world building or making any narrative progress. If you do play this game despite my warning, prepare for some brute force puzzle solutions, with the density only growing as the game progresses and I guess the devs ran out of reasonable cause and effect ideas. There's also solutions that constitute severe and fully intentional pet abuse when I thought said pet was supposed to be beloved to the main character. I was left flabberghasted both at the writing and at the puzzle.

SteamWorld Build

Really enjoyed it

Gameplay styles dovetail well, the city builder side is not trivial, and it seems like it would be fun to play through multiple times. The story is generic drivel, though.
