Marie BrennanWould love recs for video games. My criteria are: 1) I like a good narrative, 2) I suck at speed reactions/hand-eye coordination challenges, 3) I like puzzle-solving, and 4) I'd prefer something that's not a giant undertaking lasting dozens of hours. Chants of Sennaar is a good example size-wise, though more robust narrative would be ideal.
GoodNewsGreyShoes🔞(on hiatus)@swan_tower Many recs here for The Talos Principle, which IS an incredible thought providing puzzle game, but short it is not.
If you're looking for something relatively short with a fantastic narrative that uses its gameplay mechanics as part of the storytelling, my #1 pick is:
Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons
Absurdly good game. ~4hrs long, very polished. Highly recommend you play it if you haven't.👌
