easy
Fishing is central to the play loop
Dredge · Moonglow Bay · Fishing Planet · Dave the Diver
Fishing is not a side activity in these games. Catching fish drives progression, money, upgrades, or the basic rhythm of play.
medium
Games developed by ACE Team
Zeno Clash · Abyss Odyssey · The Eternal Cylinder · Clash: Artifacts of Chaos
hard
You play as an artificial being
Citizen Sleeper · Unsighted · The Fall · The Talos Principle
These games ask you to inhabit a synthetic mind or body, then build their drama around what that means for memory, identity, and survival.
tricky
Traversal built around unusual movement systems
VVVVVV · Snake Pass · The Pathless · Flower
The click here is movement itself. Each game replaces the usual platforming toolkit with a stranger rule set, then makes that rule set the whole pleasure of getting around.
