Ambient Puzzlers

relaxing, minimalist puzzle games that I have tried or have caught my eye enough to be wishlisted or sought after.

these kinds of puzzlers help me cut through anxiety and bring about calmness while still keeping my brain engaged, particularly in the evenings or before bed.

many of these have DLC, sequels, or other variations on a theme (for example, Hexcells has Hexcells Plus and Hexcells Infinite). however, I've decided to omit these for now to keep it tight.

open to all suggestions!

I didn't like Picross 3D from what I played of it. Regular Picross is my goat, though.

@electrode yeah 3D never managed to grab me properly either. duly noted!
