Sorry, I was sleeping.
Feel free to give tips to other users, I didn't want to make it difficult to solve (made around a hundred of these pics, tried to select the most famous ones)
To be fair, I made these some time ago, so I've noticed some of the store banners have changed in the meantime.. not completely different, yet it could be misleading.
Anyway, hint time!
NB: The hints will be more and more detailed as time goes by, don't worry :)
Level 1+
1) Released in 2018, I think it was crowdfounded. I remember a lot of hype for it, but then something went the wrong direction and the debut was kind of a flop.. still hasn't recovered from it.
2) 10 yo, part of a very famous serie
3) 2004 game, looks like it's been removed from the store to give space to its definitive edition 😒
4) The first of this serie kind of created a new genre, to the point that similar games are often referred to as like to these one
EDIT: About question #4 — I'm sorry, I was ignorant about this matter, I may have given you all a wrong lead.
I looked it up and discovered that there's been another game before this series which is the earliest example of this genre (has a similar name and it's from the same developer though..coincidence?).
Anyway, the tag present in the Steam store, apparently, originates from this first game and not from the series the game in the answer is from. But I guess many people, like me, think that tag comes from the series.
5) Another entry from a great serie.. I remember seeing the ads on TV for the first one and falling in love instantly. Watch out UK users, I've read in the comments that you may add an extra "U" in the name.
Level 3+
1) You may not remember the name, but you know this game is breathtaking
2) A stealth game with a cool visual style
3) Really? are you even part of this community? Just be thankful for it!
4) Lot and lot of games in one. I think the steamgifts discord server even has a channel/tag (or how it's called) to organize multiplayer games.
5) One of the most recent entries in a very famous and long serie. It has kind of changed the core of the games with these new episodes but it remains a great game nonetheless.
don't be afraid to ask for more hints, I'll gladly give them ..again, it's not supposed to be hard, but I don't think it's fun to give the answers straight away

2 of level 3 is so stealthy that I knew I had seen it before. and this explains it.
dunno why it never showed up scrolling best sellers in an incognito tab... all the way to the bottom.

oh man, why?! That was a really cool game! I really recommend it
Comment has been collapsed.
nah, that's a poor excuse. For every "i'm poor at" thing there's always one that's fun regardless how you do or even one that's different enough from the rest that you're actually good at it! You shouldn't artificially confine yourself with such silly concepts as "being good at" just go ham and have some unrestricted fun!

I have played many varied stealth games over the decades(and on many platforms), I have always gotten frustrated within an hour and quit because I wasn't having fun, I have always given them a fair chance. I am not going to spend money on something I expect to not enjoy when there is something else that costs the same that looks far more enjoyable.
Its the same with RTS games and Strategy war games(like risk, etc), I am done giving them a chance.

you can always refund if you're under 2 hours ;) and there are other ways to "try" games w/o paying but you didn't hear that from me ;)
and I'd still say it's a matter of attitude. how are you gonna enjoy something when you expect to not enjoy it?
either way, I'm not gonna push it on you. I don't really have any incentive to, I just found it to be an awesome game and take it from someone who's also conventionally bad at stealth games (but not the sequel, just stay away from the sequel)

HINT TIME, PT.2
This event made me realize I suck at giving hints
Level 1+
1) Dystopian setting. I know it's different, but it gives me Orwell (1984) vibes notheless.
2) Is this dystopian too? You'll be shocked by the answer!
3) The latest installment in this serie is rather famous on sg as it's (been?) one of the most "given" game by new users.
4) Start game, Die, Repeat.
5) Dis Answer seems to be the most difficult, but it's because is good at hiding.
Level 3+
1) Still nothing? C'mon, you can do it! You are breathtaking!
2) I hope this is accurate.. Mark of the Ninja 3D
3) I used to not know the answers like you, but then I started making my own puzzles.
4) Forget the discord stuff, but keep in mind the many games in one. As Fitz10024 said: «It's really so many games in 1 that if you are board of one, you can play something completely different instead.»
5) Remember pointy boobs? Well, now aren't pointy anymore. Was that a secret?

Happy belated cookie day!
I can't for the life of me figure out LVL1 / Q5. Got the rest but this one has me stumped.
Comment has been collapsed.
It was Q5 for me though. And I've solved it by now. ^^
Comment has been collapsed.
Thanks. I just needed to add a number after Lvl1, Q5
but 4 is just annoying! The hints imho are just too generic and apply to a whole lot of games.
I had fun though, so thanks anyway!

You mean L1 Q4, right?
I'm sorry, I was ignorant about this matter, I may have given you all a wrong lead.
I just looked while writing this answer and discovered that there's been another game before this series which is the earliest example of this genre (has a similar name and it's from the same developer though..coincidence?).

Exactly. It's absolutely fine though. No need to apologize for it!
I cannot for the life of me remember to which game the blurred screenshot of L1,Q4 belongs!
Comment has been collapsed.
oh come ooooooooooooooooon! :D
I typed Dark Souls as the answer!
Just like 5, I needed to add a number at the end to show its part! smh
Thanks for the heads up at least.

Stuck on #2 for level 3.
search results suck... once I add any form of context the results become unrelated.
:/
edit: not stuck, hints helped a ton.

Happy Cookieday!
Thanks for the quizzes. Recognized all, just had to look up the name for the 2nd game in the lvl3+ quiz. Only remembered the first three letters from that one.

Interesting, but hard 😅

Hi everyone!
My cakeday happened last week but I did not make in time to share it with the whole community.
To make it up, I just baked some cookies.. feel free to grab some before leaving 🙂
If you are level 1+, there's a code at the end of the following quiz:
If you are level 3+, there's a code at the end of the following quiz:
If you are level 5+, you can go here and convert the following cells addresses into familiar codes:
Levels have been decided using random.org
Also, do not expect AAA titles.. they are small games which looks interesting to me.. I'm giving them away 'cause my backlog is kinda huge 😅
EDIT: Thanks everyone for all the wishes 🤗
Finally, cookies!
