10 Most Overlooked Video Games Of 2023
10. Viewfinder
Let's kick things off with one of the most ingeniously premised video games ever.
The brain-breakingly brilliant puzzler Viewfinder gives players a camera and allows them to take polaroid photographs of the environment which can then be placed in the very same 3D space, creating pathways towards the teleport pod in each level.
If the influence from Valve's Portal is obvious, Viewfinder is nevertheless a challenging and innovative puzzle game all of its own, forcing the player to consider perspective and scale in order to progress to the next stage.
As with any great puzzler, it also finds jaw-dropping ways to keep upping the ante all the way to the end, continually introducing new wrinkles which force the player to think ever more carefully about how to move forward.
Though those craving a nuanced story should certainly look elsewhere, Viewfinder's first-rate mechanics are so brilliantly befuddling you'll surely not care about the threadbare narrative.
