We’re finishing the 2019 Community Game-Along schedule with a bang with our final theme of the year: puzzle games! I love how puzzle games can be really great for stress and anxiety, and I know the end of the year can be a source of both of those things for many people, so it’s a great time to decompress with some wholesome puzzles!
From Professor Layton to Puzzle Quest, December’s puzzle game theme includes all manner of puzzlers, so pick up a game and share your impressions with #PuzzleGameMonth!
