Make no mistake, every one of these last ten games was a total banger. I did put the last two in C-tier, but honestly they are still bangers, there was just something about both of them that made them not for me personally.

1.Mutropolis - I just love pointing and clicking :) This game is obtuse and ridiculous and that’s exactly what I want out of this genre.

2.Unpacking - Truly beautiful storytelling. Like, I can’t stop thinking about the protagonist’s pet beetle and how that one item tells you all you need to know about her friendship with her bug-loving first roommate.

3.Going Under - This game was such an emotional roller coaster for me, from boredom to sadness to fun to frustration to sadness again. I really adored it but the personal low points made it so I can’t truly say that my experience with this game was better than my experience with Unpacking.

4.Golf Peaks - A satisfying puzzle experience!

5.Before Your Eyes - The more I think about it, the more I’m like “Yeah, this didn’t totally live up to the hype.” The story is nice but nothing really special, and the controls, though unique as they claim, are a bit janky.

6.Dead Cells - I guess if anything is going to finally make me admit to myself that I just don’t enjoy metroidvanias, it would be a genre fusion where an excellent roguelike is bogged down by having to collect movement upgrades.

7.The Tail Makes the Fox - There’s some anime grossness to this one. The writing is really fun, though, and having partially replayed the game in English I can confirm that’s not just me thinking everything written in Spanish is literary gold.

8.Starseed Pilgrim - At the end of the day I really have no idea what this game was or even if I was playing it right, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing it nonetheless.

9.Bit Rat: Singularity - The themes of technology and AI made my eyes glaze over a little bit and made it kind of hard for the solid puzzles to hold my interest but, again. The puzzles are solid.

10.Rym 9000 - Crashes often and takes your progress with it. But this isn’t a bad game, not at all.

Bit Rat: Singularity is a cyberpunk puzzle game about an AI becoming sentient and breaking out of its facility via... data pathways? Electric currents? A series of tubes? Some techy mumbo-jumbo that I didn’t fully understand. Imagine a way more complex version of those hacking minigames from the first Bioshock (with pixel art, so it’s way better) and that’s basically what the puzzles are. It was really fun and decently challenging, and I didn’t even attempt to look up any solutions! Even though I was tempted. The final puzzle took me over an hour to solve and really pushed me to the limits of my puzzling capabilities. Finally solving it felt incredible, but what felt even more incredible was when the ending cutscene started playing and I realized there weren’t going to be more, even harder puzzles. Singularity is standalone but it’s still going to be the first chapter of a longer game, and it baffles the mind how the developers will be able to add even more to those tricky mechanics.

The AI’s name is MINOS and the company that owns it is called AsteriusCorp and the puzzles are quite mazelike - labyrinthine, if you will. We love to see it :3

HOH, BUDDY.

Feels good to stumble on a fun puzzle game :D

This is Bit Rat: Singularity and it's FUCKING SICK.

I definitely recommend this one if anyone wants a sick puzzle game.

It's got a killer aesthetic, a great difficulty curve, and it plays with my favorite topic- AI gaining sentience.

It's on Itch.io for 2 bucks and was included in at least one of the bundles itch has thrown together in the past (I believe it was included in the BLM bundle last year).

Seriously, good game. Great theme, love the tech aesthetics, love the expansion on the old pipe puzzles with added layers- went through the trouble of getting all the servers (I believe at least) because the added lore bits were phenomenal and entertainingly shared through emails between people in this messed up tech company.

Love it.

For reference, my 'best' puzzle was in 12 moves, my worst was the final puzzle.... which took me 1439 moves.

It took me a while.

Embarrassing tbh. lol

BIT RAT: Singularity's AI Wants to Expand, Exterminate, Evolve... For Freedom?

Trapping an AI is generally not a good idea. But in BIT RAT: Singularity, the situation is far worse than anyone could have imagined, for its AI is evolving!
