I regret waiting so long to try Quern. I cannot imagine a better Uru-like puzzle game. Originally I assumed it was more of a Myst-like, where puzzle-solving requires a lot more patience than I actually have. However Quern had exactly the right amount of difficulty - clues aren't excessively difficult to find, every puzzle requires enough thinking that nothing feels like busywork, and it never let me feel like I was playing by unfair rules so I was never tempted to check a walkthrough.

Recommendation: Don't even wait for a sale. It's incredibly good.
