Hi everyone and welcome back to another installment of My Week Unwrapped, where I cover all the games I've been playing over the last seven days. There have been a lot of new releases this week, especially in my favorite genres -- puzzle and adventure. Not all of them rang true for me, but a few blew me away. In any case, there's a lot to talk about, so let's get right…
Minesweeper Genius By: Mother Gaia Studio There are a few games that just the thought of them can bring me back to my childhood, and I have a very clear memory of playing Minesweeper on my dad's computer in the basement. I didn't pour hours into it like I did and do many other games, but it's a still a classic that's worth borrowing from. Mother Gaia Studio does so in…
Bloki By: Maksymilian Michalski Im always eager to try new puzzle games, especially when they look so different from anything I've ever played that I'm not entirely sure what's happening in the trailer.

Much of the game is about looking carefully in and under things for keys, which makes it a bit difficult to make a step-by-step guide, especially since it's in 3D. But I'm posting videos of my playthrough and I'm also going to…
G30 - A Memory Maze By: Kovalov Ivan Ivan Kovalov's intriguing puzzle game, G30, is a hard one to explain. But I did my best to make a walkthrough guide for it. I have some videos you can watch and screenshots of the completed levels. See my G30 review here. Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 | Story…
Zero/Sum By: Sean Kearney ╬ô├¬ΓîÉ╬ô├▓├╣╬ô├╢├ë The pitch for Sean Kearney's game, Zero/Sum, is that it's a math puzzle game combined with the cheesy storyline of an 80's B-movie, complete with live acting and absurdity. I confess, I wasn't all that excited about the math, but I love a good cheesy movie, and it was hard to pass up on the opportunity to cure cancer with puzzles. It turns out, the game delivers…
