My #GamesOfTheYear definitely were #OriAndTheBlindForest, #TheCaseOfTheGoldenIdol and #RecursiveRuin.

While Ori is just Metroidvania crafted in perfection, the others are SOOOO intelligent and well designed.

I can't say, I understood half of the storyline of RR, but the levels were so brilliantly made. Much like #Braid I can't understand how people design stuff like this.

And the idol is just so well written and designed. And it holds a dear place in my heart because it was #MadeWithGodot.

Recursive Ruin is a first person narrative-based puzzle game about grief.

I read about this game last year, and added it to my wishlist; when it popped up on sale three weeks ago, and so I added another game to the pile of shame.

The game's conceit is in the title, because a large chunk of the game's environments are recursive. This is deeply disorienting, and feels like the diametric opposite of a cozy game.

It's standard WASD keyboard and mouse navigation, and with the addition of what is, effectively, a companion cube, it's a bit like "What would it be like to play Portal on psychedelic drugs?"

This is an interesting, but disquieting game; I'm genuinely not sure if I like it, or just solving puzzles.

Recursive Ruin is:
