I'm going to preface this by saying I did not like void stranger. Now you might be asking why am I recommending it then?

That's because I think it's a good game...
for other people.

I am a Sokoban fanatic and coming in blind on a recommendation, I expected a Sokoban game with interesting puzzles with a vast meta layer and story on top. Unfortunately the regular puzzles were too simplistic for my taste.

If you are new to the genre and don't have much experience with logic puzzles or Sokobans this game is very accessible. But if you have some experience don't expect to be challenged much by the regular puzzles at least until quite a ways in.
The game is technically a Sokoban but I wouldn't recommend it as one.

The meta stuff I did encounter was very interesting and the story and lore gripped me hard. If that's what you're interested in this game will deliver. But if you're looking for a new Sokoban I'd suggest looking elsewhere because that's not this game's strong suit I'm afraid.

This is very much a hate it or love it game, you're probably either going to have a 5 hour stint with this game or a 50 hour obsession. And I find that those games become people's all time favorites, so if any of what I said sounds interesting to you and you think you have the perseverance to stick with this game maybe try it out and see if it becomes your all time favorite, or at least a temporary unhealthy obsession :P
