Supraland
Supraland is a First-Person Metroidvania Puzzle game. The main sources of inspiration are Zelda, Metroid and Portal. Supraland assumes that you are intelligent and lets you play independently. The story is minimal, gives you an overarching goal to pursue, and then sets you free. You explore a large interconnected world in which most ways are at first unpassable until you find new abilities to overcome those obstacles. A cornerstone of Supraland’s design was to create abilities that are so versatile, they will keep on surprising you by how many different usages they have. If you combine your abilities, the possibilities become even bigger. Most of the game is about exploring the sandbox world to track down secrets. Often you will think you are about to get out of bounds and beat the level designer, but right there is a chest waiting for you with a very rewarding upgrade. Supraland respects your lifetime and doesn’t bloat the playtime with unlimited no-brainer collectibles.

Felt like being a kid again, but with better problem-solving skills.
Got this from a bundle and never got around to playing it. I hate that I waited so long to play this.

Can't believe that I never reviewed this! Not that it even needs yet another positive review though. This is absolutely one of the best and most charming puzzle platformers out there. It's not overly challenging, but not boring either, making for a fantastic casual game to relax with. There's plenty of charm and humor to Supraland that I have yet to find a match with in other games. On top of that, the world is delightful to traverse and it's easy to see why at the very least this could be considered a cult classic. (Really surprised it's not more widely known about.) If you haven't played Supraland yet, it's absolutely worth giving a shot and if you do enjoy it, the devs have made some follow ups and a larger successor is currently in early access (which has been a lot of fun already).

This whole game is a loop of 1. i'm too stupid to do this. 2. go to sleep. 3. it was that simple, how did i not think of it earlier.
A bit too much of backtracking to get everything imo but part of is is on me for going back to do the puzzle i knew, and then coming back with another new ability, and then coming back with another ability etc.. instead of waiting to the end to redo them

The level and puzzle design is infinitely clever in this game. The developer never lets an opportunity for smart design pass by unchecked.

Do NOT LET YOUR PREJUDICES FOOL YOU, this is a PHENOMENAL experience and a 11/10 in level design! It just FLOWS and every ability, area, feature and obstacle has a PURPOSE that is just waiting for you to find. Pure video game material right here, do not miss!

Supraland genuinely surprised me. I did not expect much from it and ended up liking it far more than I thought I would.
Exploration is clearly the main focus here. There is something hidden in almost every nook and cranny. Easter eggs, memes, funny little stories, upgrades and secrets everywhere. Some secrets contain other secrets, which lead to even more secrets. Basically secret-ception.
The further you progress, the more tools you unlock and the more paths open up. Every new ability made me think of three places I wanted to revisit because there was probably another secret hidden there.
The controls feel great and the abilities have just the right amount of chunkiness to them. I also appreciate that the game is not obsessed with invisible walls.
If you are stubborn enough, there is a decent chance you can solve a puzzle in a way the developer never intended. I am fairly certain I bypassed at least a few puzzles through a combination of determination and questionable engineering.
Most puzzles are clever and well designed, but there were a handful that completely defeated me. Those had me staring at the screen wondering whether I was supposed to have a degree in puzzle solving. Eventually I gave up and looked up the solution, only to discover there was absolutely no chance I was ever going to figure that out on my own.
The story that guides you through this giant puzzle maze is not too bad either. The level design is incredibly clever and the world building is top notch.
