What's New in Puzzle Games? 1/18 to 1/23 2026

Описание: EDIT 2/2/2026: Music from F&H got copyrighted for no good reason so I cut the music from that section entirely LOL. So if there's any awkward silences, that's why! Fair use is fair use, but w/e.

Not to immediately shake things up, but I spent the snowy icy Sunday at home researching through and playing through TWELVE games of the 70 puzzle games that released on Steam between 1/18/2026 and 1/23/2026.

This is the newest of the new! 

Some of them I'll probably play longer and might talk about again, but for the most part these are just ~5-15 minute snippets of 12 different games, plus some honorable mentions. I do NOT like all of these, and I'm honest about that.

Do you like this new type of video? Let me know! It's interesting because it was more work overall to capture footage for so many games, but then the editing took me like 15 minutes, so it was probably an equal amount of work as one of my longer form videos where I play through an hour of a game and edit it down meticulously.
