Kikicat123's Ultimate Puzzle Game List (pat. pending)
What is this?
This is a list of puzzle games I've played, and my thoughts on them. I'll try to keep it updated, but I'm lazy, and often forgetful, so no promises.
If I've missed any games, contact me on Discord (kikicat123) or email me at kiki (at) (this domain). I'll add them to the list.
These puzzle games all have a few things in common:
a) They are all pretty hard, but very rewarding. I'd encourage you to not look things up while playing.
b) They are (almost) all on steam. I prefer to use steam for games, but i've made exceptions for some games.
c) They have all passed my worth-it metric: For every Canadian Dollar spent, I've gotten at least 1 hour of entertainment. Prices listed are as of April 2023. I have probably accidentally included a sale price, If I have let me know. Thanks to Melon for creating some JS to ping the Steam API for prices! Fallbacks may still be sale prices.
Prices are automatically converted to current prices using the Steam API, hover over the price to see the original price as of August 2023.
Portal, C$12.99 and Portal 2 C$12.99
(Editor's Note: There's many, many mods for the both of these games. I'll make a list later, but I am lazy right now.)
Myst C$38.99, and it's many, many spinoffs and sequels.
(Editor's note: There's too many to list here and I haven't played them yet. Going off user reviews though, most seem good.)
Games I have not played but have heard are good:
These games have not been evaluated by me, but friends of mine have recommended it be added to the list. I will put these here.
Other Games:
These are games that don't fit into the traditional sense of "Puzzle games" but are still puzzley in nature, so i've included them anyway.
They still meet the worth-it metrics, but aren't nessesarially the same style of experience as above.
I Expect You to Die 1, C$31.992, C$31.99 and
3 C$31.99
(Editor's Note: These are in this category because of their style of guess and check puzzles. Also, they are VR Only, so that's worth mentioning.)
This shows the total of all games ticked above. Thanks again to Melon for the script!
