No puyo tetris or puyo champions but the last guardian? Give your head a shake, that's NOT a puzzle game!
The Sexy Brutale does look rather good, I might have to check it out one of these days. The Witness wasn't that great in my view, I got bored of it very quickly.
If TLG counts, why no Outer Wilds?
Kine is top 3 for me. Adored it... 100%ed it (only cheated twice).
Statik too. Witness was sssoooo boring. If Inside and Last Guardian qualify, so do God of War and Shadow of Colossus etc.
I feel at least one ARTIFEX MUNDI game should be on this list.
Where is Puyo Puyo Tetris?! Seriously!
@Dan_ozzzy189 Came to type exactly that! Also where is Crystal Crisis?
I really enjoyed the bit of The Witness I played but it gave me terrible motion sickness, so sadly I didn’t get very far

Tetris Effect so expensive.......................i dont want banging tunes the original was good enough.....if i want tunes i'll turn to my 1 terrabite jukebox.
How is The Last Guardian so much higher than the likes of Fez or Statik? Also I Expect You to Die is better then most of the games on this list. Tetris Effect is amazing though
@Quintumply @carlos82
I Expect You To Die should definitely be on the list. A great room escape experience for the PSVR!
I was about to suggest Outer Wilds, but then I saw I already did lol.
1. The Witness
2. Fez
3. Statik
No idea why Gorogoa gets such high praise, yes it's different but it's guess work on your first go and a load of messing around.
Good puzzle games don't need guesswork, there's that enlightenment when you can see the answer. I think it's been so successful due to its early praise. Yes give it a go its not bad by any means. But better than Statik or Fez? No way.
Finished the Talos Principle recently. Great game. I fell off of the Witness. May need to reinstall that one.
@Kidfried
Hmm. I want to try Sexy Brutale but not spend much on it. Would make a nice Plus game for me.
Fez, Creaks, Gorgoa and Witness
Fun list of games that don't get enough attention, IMO. Especially enjoyed Qube 2 and Gorogoa. Two puzzle games with loads of atmosphere and ingenious design.
ETHER ONE is a good one (no pun).
More great puzzle games missing from the list:
The Talos Principle was my favourite until i played Supraland. What a fabulous game that is, all built by one man! It's an astonishing achievement.
Without doubt the best puzzler I've ever played.
I would buy The Witness if it ever got a decent discount
