I'm pleasantly suprised about the release of several puzzle platformers lately, but it seems like they are not noticed by many around here. If Braid and Limbo have proven one thing it is that puzzle platformers have a pretty big large potential audience, but apart from those two, most of the new releases usually slip under the radar of most gamers. Toki Tori and The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom were positively received in the press, but it seemed to me that most gamers didn't care.

The ones that lead me to write this post are The Adventures of Shuggy, originally released back in 2011 on XBLA and Escape Goat, also originally released on XBLA. Both have been released for PC just recently with little fanfare, which is just too bad. After playing through both of them, I can highly recommend the two to almost anyone with just a little bit of patience.

With the recent release of Gateways and Thomas Was Alone, I hope that more gamers give puzzle platformers a chance so that more of them will be released in the future.
