Given the game’s popularity, most of the praise it deserves has already been voiced, but I still want to add my own. After 7 years my expectations were extremely high, yet Silksong managed to surpass them. It stands among the best games I have ever played, improving meaningfully on every aspect of Hollow Knight, which was already one of my favourites.

The new tracks sound great, are memorable, and fit the areas and fights perfectly, with not a single bad song among them.

The world itself is larger and more visually expressive. The new areas look stunning and feel much grander than most of Hollow Knight, save for a few exceptions like the City of Tears. They also complement the new movement options, allowing for quick and satisfying travelsal through them once you get used to the controls.

The game is quite challenging, but remains fair. The combat relies much more on speed and precision, which make it more engaging than Hollow Knight's combat. The tools are also a much more engaging system than charms, though the limited crafting material can discourage using them. While some aspects, like the double damage or certain runbacks, were controversial in the community, I did not find them to be annoying.

The experience was unquestionably worth the wait, and I am glad that Team Cherry took the time necessary to realize Silksong’s full potential.

Another great puzzle game from FLEB. As per usual, it is a short but enjoyable and well-crafted experience.

Similarly to 20 Small Mazes, figuring out what to do is as important as figuring out how to do it. The puzzles are tricky enough to force you to think, but managable with only a few minutes of thinking (the longest I was stuck was about 6 minutes in the Blue Temple).

The game took me about 2 hours to complete. If you enjoyed 20 Small Mazes, this game is well worth the price.

Escape from Castle Claymount is a short but enjoyable point-and-click game.

While it doesn't take long to beat, the time spent is well refined and enjoyable. The claymation style, seen rarely these days, makes it quite memorable. The puzzles are simple, but many require keen observation and making connections with either the enviroment or previous puzzles. The "photographic memory" feature is also a nice quality of life improvement in the genre that requires you to keep track of many codes and places.

The game would already be worth playing if it simply cost a small amount, but the game being free makes it an easy recommendation for people enjoying puzzles.

macdows 95 is a very creative puzzle game - more specifically, it consists of a large number of smaller, random puzzles. Said puzzles range in difficulty and complexity, but all of them are doable, either due to being very intuitive or thanks to the ingame hint system. The game itself quite short - I have finished it in about 2 hours, with 30 minutes more to collect every achievement.

My only two problems with the game were:
- some achievements are impossible to complete after the ending, forcing you to reset your game through erasing some files,
- the ending does not make it clear you have finished the game - I spent 10 minutes on the ending screen thinking there is still one more puzzle to solve.

Those problems are ultimately rather insignificant, so the overall enjoyment of the game remains unaffected. As such, I highly reccomend the game for anyone who enjoys short, creative puzzles that sometimes require out-of-the-box thinking. The game is quite cheap already and is certainly worth buying, whether or not it is currently on sale.
