goty 2023

I've recommended it to anyone who listens, and even some who don't. Especially because 2023 had so many high profile puzzle games (Cocoon, Viewfinder) that were so disappointing and superficial. Void Stranger shows what puzzlers can be and it totally raises the bar. I might even say it's better than Baba (prob leaning not tho). The forced repetition especially is super risky and interesting.

But like Baba, it's a sokoban. The point of the game is to solve hundreds of block puzzles. When you solve a really hard block puzzle, the game rewards you with more harder block puzzles. No matter what, you need to be able to enjoy the puzzles. That's why the game will never blow up like Undertale, even if it deserves it.
