Any good games that break the mold (lemmy.world)

It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing "Return of the Obra Dihn" and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I'm actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don't coddle the player that you guys recommend?

It's hard to beat Obra Dinn, but The Witness is another of my favorite puzzle games.

Edit: "hard to beat" meaning it's a good game, not that it's difficult (although it is in fact pretty difficult).
