We're waiting for more Sokoban from Jonathan Blow. Therefore, the requirements for Sokoban are very high, although interesting ideas are still emerging. The creator of Baba from You had a series of short Sokoban games - https:\/\/itch.io\/c\/4014684\/tiny-block-pushers\n\nI love puzzles in general, and I'm happy with any puzzle game, so thank you.
