These PC games should be more popular than they are.
Escape Room Simulator isn't that old of a game, but it seems like people forgot it's out there. This game is a satisfying way to avoid the messiness of a real life escape room right now. It's a first-person puzzle game that drops you into a room that you have to solve your way out of. The puzzles range from simple math problems to obtuse pictograph translations. In some ways it feels designed for you to have some friends around to bounce ideas off of.
There's a demo available if you want to give it a shot before you buy it. In it, you can see how much the game is interested in forcing you to keep track of every little thing that surrounds you. The timed levels can be a bit annoying, but once you get used to the language of its puzzles, it's not hard to figure out what you need to do before you have to restart.
Escape Room Simulator even has a level editor if you rip through all of the developer levels or if you have some ideas for puzzles yourself. It's the kind of game that you can keep going back to for a while, and it's a little surprising that more people don't have it in their regular rotation of games to play.Tyler has covered games, games culture, and hardware for over a decade before joining PC Gamer as Associate Editor.
