Any good new schizo puzzle games lately?
I finished void stranger and been craving more stuff like that.

Tried Isles of sea and sky on anon's recommendation but other than both being sokobans it skews more towards traditional with kinda generic progression and secrets, still okay but nowhere near the same depth of bullshittery and arcane knowledge.

Have already played Animal Well and Tunic too and currently waiting for EMUROM to drop in 3 days.
Any others I missed in the meantime or are coming up that I should bookmark?

Try Blue Prince.

Tried it, also didn't feel like it had nearly the same level of depth to the secrets.
Felt pretty meh and repetitive too.
>>
>>739424201
Maybe 0Player or Lorelei & The Laser Eyes, then. You've already played some of the best games in this niche.
>>
>>739424623
Played both already.
Yeah I figured but might as well ask.
There are thousands of new games out every hour I'm bound to miss something.

I played it for a good amount, like 10 hours?
But I was bored by then of just doing the same thing over and over in hopes of not getting fucked by rng, so if there is more crazy stuff after that point I guess that's fine I'm not doing allat.
Also yeah played almost all the games on that list except the last few on the bottom, I'll check em out.

>>739424808
I see that one is already on the list above but thanks anyway.

Not really.
They're pretty rare.
If you haven't played Noita then I'd recommend it.
It's an action game instead of puzzle but it has an insanely deep amount of knowledge required to figure out the secrets and quests, some even more complicated than void stranger puzzles.
But yeah otherwise nothing else similar is on the horizon.

>>739424125
Paquerette Down The Bunburrows
It's not like void stranger but some of the later levels and mechanics definitely meet the schizo definition
>>
>>739426221
Played that one too, some in a void stranger thread recommended it a while ago.
>>
>>739424125
given your other replies you probably played them already but La-Mulana 1&2.
thanks for the recs anons, I'm taking notes over here.
>>
>>739426598
Yep, la-mulana was one of the first games like that I played back in like 2012.
Either that or Fez.

I like games like these because I watch a lets play or review that spoils or their interesting mechanics

From under what rock did you crawl out of?
>>
>>739424125
Isles of Sea and Sky is more straightforward but good if u like puzzles. By the way what you are looking for is called metroidbrania, games with exploration where the focus is nit on combat but on puzzles
>>
>>739424787
Fez is so fucking good
>>
>>739430220
That would imply they have something to do with metroid, which isn't true.
>>
>>739430297
Yes it is, its often ability gatekeep or knowledge gatekeep.
>>
>>739430159
Oh sorry I meant
Stream or Video Essay

Not exactly a puzzle game per-say, but there's a twitter dev I follow that made a totally not scam kickstarter I backed that recently claimed to have retooled his entire game for the fourth time after playing Void Stranger.
I have hope for his game because the dude is a genuine perfectionist.

>>739427785
it's a short wait considering nothing as good as void stranger has come out since
>>739431450
reminds me of Maple Forest which is also a Kickstarter scam that will never come out because the dev has autism and over-promised
>>
>>739431450
>>739432307
>kickstarter
Yeah I'm not doing that.
I remember backing "heart forth alicia" in 2014.
The release date is still TBA, lol.

h-haha yeah reminds me of that too...

>>739432391
I don't blame you, I don't even know why I trust in these games.
Maybe its just the hopeful attitude they hold to make something great.
