Persephone

In most games, death is the end. In Persephone, it’s key to completing the game’s numerous puzzles. Where, when and how you die is up to you – you just need to work out the right way of doing it in order to beat the challenges that you face. Why you need it: It makes you think outside the (pine) box. What it’s best for: Subverting how games train you to think.
