So, my first genuine surprise of 2017 is Empty:
Its a free puzzle game revolving around a single well polished mechanic: Spinning the room to make objects disappear in the scene. You do that by aligning the object with a wall or another object of the same color, which deletes the object. This game starts out very easy, with a zen like feeling and style, making it very "pleasant". However, the game managed to up the ante and actually make the levels more challenging by introducing items different possible erasing solutions for each item and a way to color walls, which made some elements quite tricky. It wont stump you for all eternity, but its a unique idea that tickled my brain and just made me smile every time I figured out another piece of the puzzle, while marvelling at modern videogame room design.
Lovely and highly recommended to check out.
