Puzzle Game Recommendation- Cocoon PS5

I really enjoyed this short game. Vast majority of this game is puzzles involving these orbs you can carry between several different worlds to solve puzzles. There are just a few boss fights.

If anyone has played this and have other recommendations for puzzle type games, I would appreciate them. I have played Witness which I also enjoyed.

Peace

Cocoon was very surreal and enjoyable, but it was a bit too easy for me.

Witness is damn hard but great. Here are a few I've played recently on Xbox One (not sure about PS5)

Unravel - very unique and entertaining
The Pedestrian - quirky and difficult
Little Nightmares I and II - a personal favorite!
Ori and the Blind Forest - more of a side-scroller than a puzzle game, absurdly difficult at times
SiNKR 1 and 2 - decent puzzles, sort of repetitive
The Talos Principle - The greatest puzzles of all, very hard and very long gameplay
Superliminal - Interesting perspective puzzles, gets old after a while
The Last Campfire - Pretty entertaining but easy
Planet of Lana - Side-scroller with decent puzzles and amazing immersive story
Q.U.B.E. 2 - Quite the challenge and will take quite a while to beat, recommended!
Portal 2 - A classic Xbox 360 era game that set the standard for these types of games. Recommended!
The Swapper - Actually quite the challenge but it is very clunky, and the game literally looks like shit.
The Turing Test - Takes a while to get going but has some tough puzzles towards the end.

If you liked Cocoon and The Witness, you should try these.

The Talos Principle focuses on logic puzzles with a calm pace and clear rules. It rewards careful thinking.

The Talos Principle 2 expands the ideas and adds scale without losing clarity.

Manifold Garden plays with gravity and space. You learn by doing, not by tutorials.

Antichamber is more abstract. It constantly challenges how you think about space.

Superliminal uses forced perspective. Short puzzles, strong ideas, very memorable.

All of these focus on thinking, not reflexes. If you enjoyed carrying orbs and solving layered problems, these will fit your taste.
