I really love puzzle games! Unfortunately there aren't a lot of them, or at least they're really hard to find. The puzzle section on Steam is basically completely filled with horror games that I guess have some puzzle elements mixed in, hence why they're in the puzzle section.

Games like Portal, Stephen's Sausage Roll, and Braid are awesome.

Have you played Outer Wilds and Return of the Obra Dinn? They are 2 of the best narrative puzzle games I've ever played.

Yup, played through them both! Outer Wilds is one of my favorite games of all time

I recommend a simple little game called Rush. I don't even know what motivated me to get it some time ago, but I had fun with it even though I wouldn't say I usually like puzzle games. It's all of 0.22€ on sale where I'm sitting, might be worth trying.

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll definitely look into it

Patrick's Parabox is a neat little puzzle game that became one of my favorites after I 100%ed it. It's a bit different from the games you've listed here - deceptively simple, 2D box pushing type of game, but has a level of mind bending through manipulation of space that I think rivals Baba is You in terms of "what the hell, I've just broken physics in a way that is internally consistent but that I didn't see coming".

I have Patrick's Parabox on my Steam, been waiting to get the chance to play it. I really liked Baba is You though, so I'm looking forward to playing it
