Dudley Middleton
24.09.2022Portal 2 community test chambers – another level of portal puzzles, there are literally thousands of them, some of them seemingly impossible. It will take something special to dethrone this game.

JPS
20.09.2022Its excruciating to think about how they decided "world of goo" is some how third place and the talos principle number 7. The talos principle was a masterpiece. Possibly one of the greatest games in existence

Frankie Parsons' Top 10s
20.09.2022Stretching it a bit to call World of Goo "mind bending" but I agree 100% with Portal (1 and 2) being at Number 1. Others to consider…
Psychonauts – has some amazing sequences and is getting old but perhaps more an action-adventure.
Max: The Curse of Brotherhood – more of a platform puzzler but inventive and mildly mind-blowing when I first played it.
Papo & Yo – Underrated 3D platformer with lots of jumping puzzles but very clever rather than challenging.

18.09.2022Made me happy to see professor Layton on the list. I tend to forget about the series though I bc It’s one of the earlier “difficult” puzzle games I remember playing. The nostalgia is real 👌🏼
Hyil Poulle
18.09.2022I would like to understand the criteria these games were rated by. By my criteria, Talos should've won easily. Portal a close second.
manuel hoskinson
18.09.2022Anti chamber would be an awesome VR game on PS4.

18.09.2022Talos principle is a damn masterpiece and i personally prefer it over portal 2
Abdul Rafay
18.09.2022Portal 2, talos principle, and the turing test r the best logical puzzle games
Ardi Beltz
18.09.2022Number 4 Monument Valley..? I love this game, but their concept was preceded by Echocrome and it's secuel from PSP

17.09.2022Talos is overrated and dull, Want something 10x more atmospheric & immersive? Better soundtrack, graphics, puzzles and a vastly larger world.
Riven. And all the Myst sequels. Also, most games made by "the adventure company" are very atmospheric and immersive full of a variety of puzzles with great story lines to bring it all together.
Talos and the witness are dull games with simple repetitive puzzles. So boring 😩
Why they get such high praise is beyond me 🤷
Rafy Reyes
17.09.2022Portal 2 is my favorite game ever period!!! but if i had to rank the games I played based on diffuculty of the puzzle and that alone.
#1 The Witness
#2 Portal 2
#3 Talos Principal
The Witness had some of the hardess puzzle I have ever seen in a video game will ruin your life but whe you solve it without looking it up will make you happier than ever.
Portal 2 has some good puzzle and great story the puzzles do get hard but not as hard as the witness. I beat this game over 10 times so i rate it a 3 out of 1 to 5 in hardness. The witness being a 5.
Talos Pricipal just beat this game recently. I love the story telling and phslosifical questions. This game definatly has the most meaning than the rest of the other games, but I feel the puzzles are not that hard. I am not counting the stars because that is more of searching logic puzzle solving. 2 out of 5 in hardness.
The Turing Test – I didnt mention this one on the list but wanted to because this one was sooo easy. I beat this game in one night. I felt like I was speed runing the game while playing it. 1/5 for hardness. If you are new to these types of games and you find portal 1/2 too hard I would start with this one. It was easy but still enjoyed it.
Dub Element
17.09.2022i am looking for a video game, it is monochrome black and white, 3d and a puzzlegame, very abstract, anyone has a idea what the name is? it is very nice and strange designt, like a dream.
