Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks agoRain World is brutally uncompromising, but there’s a certain kind of satisfaction in that.
If you’re interested in recommendations based on Animal Well, some games with similar puzzle style would be Tunic, Toki Tori 2 and Outer Wilds (be careful with spoilers for those kinds of games)

I appreciate it! Unfortunately I have played tunic and outer wilds as well lol. I own Toki Tori 2 but I remember it being more of a puzzle game? Guess I’ll have to go check it out again.

It is very much a puzzle game, but the way its puzzles are structured involves exploration.
I’d generally say it’s a rule discovery puzzle game, which is a searchable term, structured in a metroidvania style. I love rule discovery games, the core idea is that the game doesn’t tell you the rules, and discovering the rules that govern gameplay is part of the puzzle.
