External Organs: Mar 3, 2006; One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

I'm currently enjoying Grindstone on the switch as my brainless go to game, which I am enjoying a lot. Not sure what you'd call this genre, maybe Arcade Puzzle? I just find chaining monsters together really satisfying and the art reminds me of either Snood or Adventure Time depending on how you're feeling. With a toddler I don't feel like I have a ton of heavy brain time to invest into games that want to be more immersive or whatever.

This thread is great, there's a ton of stuff I've never heard of. Thanks OP!

For those looking for an excellent puzzle-platormer, much moreso puzzle than platformer (so far), I just want to recommend The Pedestrian, which is on gamepass as of a few weeks ago. I just started it last night and it tickles my brain in a really satisfying way.

You are a little stick man or woman, interacting with 2D environments within a larger 3D space. Puzzles so far involve rearranging the 2D fields and connecting various ladders and doors to eventually find the way to the next area.

It doesn't seem really hard so far, but that's not really what I'm into. It kind of reminds my brain of how I felt first playing Mario Galaxy - think spatial arrangement puzzles and such.

It's a good game but definitely gets tough later on.

I can totally imagine that. Looking forward to it!
