![]() ![]() Of course, no one's stopping you from trying out the hardest games first if their mechanics interest you the most, so long as you're up for the task. ![]() If you're new to puzzle games, then you might want to start with some 'casual' ones to gradually build your way up. Also check out some reviews to gauge its difficulty, cuz I don't recommend starting with the hardest games and getting frustrated when you get stuck. Look up the core mechanics of the game and see if it interests you. Just remember to always do your research before buying a puzzle game. There are many other good puzzle games aside from these recommendations. I started with the free version on Newgrounds. It's relatively easy compared to those two and is one of the first puzzle games I played. If you want something a bit lighter, check out Total Party Kill. Without spoiling anything, it sort of feels like a side-scrolling Portal. I personally enjoyed the lesser-known The Swapper more. I thought it was pretty good, though maybe not as great as its hype suggested, but your experience might differ. Braid is critically acclaimed and involves some wacky time-manipulating mechanics. If you're interested in puzzle platformers, you can try out Braid or The Swapper. Also note that there is a game called Snakebird Primer which is basically just a much, much easier version of Snakebird, to 'prime' you for the original game, though it still stands as a solid casual puzzle game on its own. Other games of this genre which I haven't played but heard good things of are A Monster's Expedition, A Good Snowman Is Hard to Build, Bonfire Peaks, and Room To Grow. Anyway, my personal favorites of the genre are: Some of these games don't even have blocks for you to push, while some require extra keys for actions outside of movement. Sokoban means block pushing puzzle game, but when I say Sokoban-style I just mean puzzle games where you use the four directional keys to move your character once per turn. When it comes to puzzle games, I personally prefer Sokoban-style games. I've also heard good things about Antichamber, but I haven't played it myself. I guess it can be loosely considered a puzzle game since the whole story is like one gigantic puzzle. There's also Outer Wilds which is an open-world space exploration game where you travel around to different planets to try to solve the mysteries of the solar system. In it, you play as the newest recruit for Outer Wilds Ventures, a fledgling space program looking to expand its knowledge of the galaxy and its ancestors’ mysterious disappearance. Always nice to see people interested in puzzle games! Anyway, if first-person puzzle games are your thing, then I recommend The Talos Principle and The Witness, with the former being probably the most similar game to the Portal series. Outer Wilds is a first-person adventure puzzle game developed by Mobius Digital and published by Annapurna Interactive. ![]()
