Place hexagonal tiles to build countryside landscapes. Dorfromantik is pure calm in puzzle form. No timer, no failure state, just an expanding countryside that rewards thoughtful placement. The board game adaptation proves the concept translates across media. Now on every platform, it remains the most meditative game in the cosy canon.
Humble Bundle has a new bundle packed with puzzle games. It has seven items including Baba is You, The Last Campfire, and more. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.
Dorfromantik is a very chill, very fun game that's ideally played in the palm of your hands.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "Whether you call it an enigma, conundrum, brainteaser, or the usual, puzzle games have a different objective from the most popular genres: challenge the player’s mental acuity more than their mechanical dexterity. That doesn’t exclude the latter altogether, but those main expectations tend to lead towards a wider breadth of nuanced concepts. This was revealed during VGChartz’s preliminary voting in one special way: a total of eight different titles made it to the final round. The only other genre to share that plurality was Best RPG."
