Hello everyone! I hope you are all staying safe as far as possible.
Almost 3 years later, here we go for a new edition of the screenshot puzzle!! 🎉🎉

It will be very similar to the previous edition, inspired on something that I usually do while I'm playing: take screenshots. Whether to contemplate a beautiful landscape, inspirational quote or funny moment, the fact is that I end up stopping, looking and enjoying more the details and others aspects from games.
So, I decided to pick some screenshots from the games that I have enjoyed since the first edition and create a new challenge for you.


The Quest

The puzzle consists of guessing the games that match each pair of screenshots.
They are all available on Steam, were released after 2005 and they have at least mostly positive rating in Steam review system.
I recommend you to answer using the same name format as the PCGamingWiki or the English Steam store.

The screenshots have been selected so the puzzle was not too easy or frustrating. All images are 1920x1080p, so you can open it for a more detailed view.
In addition to images, each question has one of the genres in which the game fits according to Steam categories.

The questions are arranged in 2 different places. After completing both parts, you should use the respective information to overcome another barrier: 😈 an evil SGTools door 😈.
To see if you are able to beat it, you can test your current state against this dummy training door.

The puzzle lasts for 1 month and ends on May 17th.


The Reward

The final prize consists of 218 giveaways for 2+/3+/4+ levels.

Loot List

Loot Table

I really hope it will be a fun challenge and release good memories while you try to solve it, besides any other possible prize.


The Journey

Without any further delay, grab your handkerchief and depart for another adventure 🏰🏰🏰 🏯🏯🏯.

Please do not share any hints, answer or some giveaway link.
I might add some hints in the next weeks, but only if there are a lot of people stuck on certain games.


Edit 1: I just added 49 more giveaways for levels 2+. Go for it !

Edit 2: Since the positive feedback received by now, I would like to organize in June a community event similar to this one. Later I will create something on forum so we can discuss the details. If you would like to participate on it with giveaways and/or screenshots, please let me know or stay tuned!

Edit 3: I just update the questions 8 and 11 of the second part with some hints. ^^

That "physics" one is giving me a hard time too...

Edit : Holy cow ! One day later, I finally found it (I just dissected the Steam store and didn't know the game at all) and that feels very rewarding. \°/

Same. The rest was a breeze but I don't know that one at all and it's a shame because it looks just like the kind of games I like

Edit: found it right after posting. My brain sometimes needs to give up to let the right answer emerge lol

I have the same. :D Sometimes I'm trying to find an answer for few days and nothing works but when I post a comment - the answer suddenly appears in my mind, :D But I have to admit, that I had to force the solution by trying most of the games from "physics" tag, because I didn't know this one. :P

Contrary to "answer using the same name format as the PCGamingWiki or the English Steam store" this one does not have any punctuation characters

Each game has many possible answers.
The options from the PCGamingWiki, Steam Store, some from the packages section on Steamdb and others that I add it to make it less frustrating (such as change 2 for II or vice-versa, with or without marks such as ™ or punctuation, etc.).
I will show them all at the end of the event (just like I did on the first edition).

If you stick to the sources that I mentioned on main post, I guarantee you will not fail because the answer format.

I don't know more than 2 or 3 or these, but while I would never touch some of them, I would gladly play others, so when the event is over, please tell us the answers to the ITH puzzles?

Quick tip: I mentioned on the main post that all games are at least mostly positive rating in Steam review system and were released after 2005.
So, try to do a search on Steam store ordered by reviews rating, and through analyzing the screenshots, include and exclude multiple game genres that you can perceive the game fits into (including the one that I mentioned on the respective question).

For example, the screenshots bellow where categorize as gore on the first edition of this puzzle. Besides that, it clearly looks that fit in action, fps, shooter and first-person categories, and I don't think that looks at all like a platformer, pixel graphics, anime or strategy game. Keeping this in mind, the search was reduced from 2,074 to 185. Of this set, 52 of them are not at least mostly positive, some were not released after 2005, many others are bundles/dlcs, some are games that I know well and I'm sure they're not what I'm looking for, etc.
