That is a good list, even if some fall more on the “walking simulator” side more so than “puzzle game”.

Games like “What Remains of Edith Finch”, “Firewatch” and “Gone Home” etc I loved, but these aren’t really puzzle games in the way Myst was, although I do see a common thread in the idea of an intricately made world to slowly explore.

The developers of gone home have another game, Tacoma, that has the same walking simulator style. Excellent feel as well.

If you're looking for a mobile game that hits that aesthetic, try "Alto's Odyssey"

Altos Odyssey, really? That strikes me as a bizarre recommendation in the context of the games being discussed in this thread.
