It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing "Return of the Obra Dihn" and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I'm actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don't coddle the player that you guys recommend?

I quite liked the vibe, but got frustrated about the artificial progress blocks. If you're a competent deck builder it's pretty easy to build a deck that beats the game master, but then you get to a point where he just throws infinite enemies at you and you are forced to lose.

I get it, the gameplay requires you to lose a number of times, but it just turned me off from finishing the game.
