There is a lot to say for games packed with exquisite details that make it difficult to discern fiction from reality. On the other hand simplicity can also be a thing of beauty and these five games have mastered it to perfection.

Alto’s Adventure

Alto’s Adventure swoops us away to a serene mountain village where the goal is to snowboard your way to victory. Obviously you’re meant to get as much points as possible as you glide past llama’s, snowy mountaintops and abandoned ruins.

Prune

Prune is an ode to minimalist art and, according to its makers, a love letter to trees. No it’s not as boring as it sounds, although the game can definitely help you get nice and relaxed. Grow and shape your tree with the swipe of a finger and avoid hostile elements along the way to discover the hidden story buried deep beneath the soil.

Badland

Badland reminds us of a colorful version of the game Limbo and delivers the same sinister atmosphere. Make your way through a forest filled with creative traps and get to the bottom of that lurking feeling that something is “terribly wrong”.

Stellar Fox

Stellar Fox is a beautifully designed puzzle game that combines creativity with cleverness. The goal is to get a baby fox to where it needs to go, but as usual that’s easier said than done. Use special objects and different inks to prove you have what it takes.

Liyla and the Shadows of War

Liyla and the Shadows of War is a stunning game and even more so when you realize the game is based on actual events. You get immersed into a war zone where time is against you as you try to get your family to safety. The only two choices really are: live or die.
