StaceyPowers Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 In general, I am not a huge fan of puzzles in video games, but there are exceptions. I really enjoyed Myst back in the day on PC. While it could be frustrating, most of the puzzles were fairly interesting, and the settings/story were fantastic. What are some awesome puzzle games (new or old) on any platform which y’all can recommend?

I have to confess I never got into Tetris. It doesn't frustrate me or anything--it just fails to captivate me. It presents an interesting optimization problem though, and I suspect I'd find a technical discussion on it fascinating.

Everyone has their own personal tastes so you don't have to like it and I can see why most people wouldn't but I always liked it.

DarthHazard Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 It's so simple so it has be😂. I don't think I've ever played it properly though, I've always just played for a bit, ended up messing up, closing the game and going off and doing something else 😂.

When the blocks start moving faster I'd like to see you fit them all in time! 🤣

I'm not good enough to ever get to the point where the blocks start coming down at an extremely fast pace so I don't have to worry about that difficulty 🤣
UleTheVee Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 I'm glad nobody brings up games like Puzzle Agent just to discuss Tetris and how complicated it is. Â

UleTheVee Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 inb4 someone asks. Arkanoid isn't believed to be a Puzzle game. Many people call these sort of games "Breakouts".
