While Waiting

While Waiting turns the most boring parts of a person’s life into an equally reverent and irreverent look at life itself. The 100 minigames offer plenty of variety – even if some of them add to the boredom rather than disperse it – and the overarching story will tug at your heartstrings and tickle your funny bone.

While Waiting is a lovely puzzler that embraces patience and offers a tonne of fun if you let your curiosity go wild while you wait. Its variety, replayability, and charming style make it easy to recommend.

And if you’re like me and you decide to think too much about what’s happening on screen, one of the objectives in every single level is to simply do nothing. In fact, you can just leave the game running if you prefer and our protagonist will simply wait, as they’re supposed to. It’s boring, and certainly not the most interesting way to play While Waiting. But there’s a level of sincerity in playin...
