A fun fantasy-themed spin on minesweeper:
You can definitely come up with strong strategies, even though it seems very random.

Re: Game Recommendations
I've been playing "The Roottrees Are Dead" and it's wonderful. A figure-out-what-happened puzzle game (like Obra Dinn, if you're family with it), where you have to put together a complicated family tree and uncover their horrible secrets along the way.

Re: Game Recommendations
one of my kids showed me this mind-bender--
it's an HTML-based game that runs in your browser
it's a bizarre psychedelic exploration of the nature of reality and consciousness, or something
with aliens, I guess?

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley
Only took me ~6 hours as a completionist. Costs $20. So not the best in terms of $/hr.
Extremely charming point&click adventure game. Lots of nostalgia for me, as I really liked the Moomin books as a kid. YMMV, but I think it's probably charming enough even if you aren't familiar with them.
And the sequel is out. Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth.
Not quite as good, I don't think, but only by a bit. Still lovely and charming, but not quite as much variety as in the earlier game. Also, while most Moomin characters have some sort of psychological hangup, the ones in this game tend towards miserable, which is better when less concentrated. But the presence of Little My cuts that a bit. Here's hoping they keep going with this series, now that the winter story is out of the way.
