This poll is a place to suggest individual puzzles from games released in 2013, which you think might be worth considering for Best Individual Puzzle in the XYZZY Awards. Leave a brief, unspoilery-as-possible title for the puzzle in the comment on your vote.
This is not a zeroth-round nomination. The category will still be text-entry, and games not mentioned here will remain eligible. The point of poll is partly to suggest games that others might want to check out, partly as your own reminder for when XYZZY season comes around.
This isn't intended as a straw poll; please don't upvote games already on the list, unless you want to add another puzzle from the same game, not yet mentioned in comments. And mention every puzzle that you think deserves consideration, not just your one favourite.
