@__BliTZ__
25.09.2024half of the comments are portal 2 comments (btw 2020 sucks)
@smelly_code_odor_coder
24.09.2024Its 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
@jmadppdamj9136
24.09.2024Antichamber that low?… dislike.
@FenixBeatz94
24.09.20247:52 isn’t that the black ops zombie weapon box jingle?
@Anonhaha122

@iiliq-yt
24.09.20248:11 That’s actually scary!
@frankieparsonstop10s55
24.09.2024Stretching 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.

24.09.2024Made 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 👌🏼
@hyilpoulle
21.09.2024I would like to understand the criteria these games were rated by. By my criteria, Talos should've won easily. Portal a close second.
@pvhs1983
21.09.2024Anti chamber would be an awesome VR game on PS4.
@HeyokiaaTwitchGaming
21.09.2024Yay portal 2 is here in this video!
@Jay-uh6qn
21.09.2024Outter wilds is pretty good too
@BuffaloNyBornRaised
21.09.2024i actually liked agatha the abc murders
@نونيم-ي4ح
21.09.2024Talos principle is a damn masterpiece and i personally prefer it over portal 2
@abdulrafay2730
21.09.2024Portal 2, talos principle, and the turing test r the best logical puzzle games
@ardibeltz541
21.09.2024Number 4 Monument Valley..? I love this game, but their concept was preceded by Echocrome and it's secuel from PSP
@Roger-hu4tk
21.09.2024The witness is the hardest shit ever
@Spencer-fk8ux
21.09.20247:52 Sounds like the mystery box
@johnpfaff7532
19.09.2024Portal and Portal 2 are masterpieces.
@that_one_helljumper
19.09.2024I love portal, it’s one of my favorite games of all time
@MandieBoox3
19.09.2024I would absolutely check out Hue! Amazing art and very fun puzzle game with beautiful scenes.
@ibmp7726
19.09.2024This needs an update with all the new awesome games like stephens sausage, boulders: puzzle and all the new sweet games.
@ronaldg6427
19.09.2024When are we going to get portal 3
@janX9
19.09.2024Talos 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 🤷
@rafyreyes3797
19.09.2024Portal 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.
@DubElementMusic
19.09.2024i 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.
@eduardodestri7058
19.09.2024Number 10: The Witness
Me: ok, this top 10 gonna be sick then!
Number 3: World Of Goo HHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHA
Edit: please people play Outer Wilds, this one is the best puzzle ever
@caledunsmore
19.09.2024Ghost trick is really amazing. Nothing quite like it out there…
@Someonecalledeli
18.09.2024How dare you only give Portal a honorable mention-
@matthewt8214
18.09.2024Why spoil the end of Braid? The game is so short let people experience it. Otherwise there are some great additions on this list. Eggs.
@maddym8795
18.09.2024IT'S A REQUIREMENT TO PLAY TALOS PRINCIPLE!!!!!!!! If you love puzzle games, this will be your all time favorite. Very challenging (you'll get stuck so many times but it's a non-linear game so you can leave and come back to puzzles), very thought provoking, incredibly interesting storylines, different endings, different paths, tons of easter eggs, an amazing environment and feeling, and the graphics are wonderful!!! I've replayed this so many times. It's magical. Nothing is like it at all. It is BETTER than portal and that comes from someone who's favorite game was portal for years and have replayed it so many times. Talos is so long that you forget how you solved everything and so you replay it every year or two! There's an amazing DLC too. Plus you can spend 25-40+ hours completing the entire game and all 3 different endings (and 50+ if you like to read all the extra writings in it!). You need to play this. Trust me, you will not regret buying this game!!!!! (it has never been topped, its been my favorite game since I first played it in 2015!!)
@ralphmarbler27
18.09.20247:52 Why does this sound familiar?
@deadmanrunning6670
18.09.2024Great list, I've played most of those games and the ones that stand out to me are Portal 2, The Witness, The Room, Monument Valley, but in my opinion, the greatest on the list is Talos Principle for it's serenity, spirituality, thought provoking story, amazing backdrops, soundtrack, puzzle construction, and replay value. It's a true logic puzzle full of Easter Eggs, multiple endings, the Star Maps. A game of puzzles within puzzles. It's virtually perfect on every possible level and of the approximately 2,000 games I own, it's my favorite!
@EuSouRCS
18.09.2024I see you at the beginning and I need to give you an honorable mention,THE SWAPPER!!!
Talk about a MASTERPIECE!
@cifey
18.09.2024Talos was awesome, like portal2 with beautifal landscapes.
Also "Return of the Obra Dinn" was memorable.
@SoulArbitar
18.09.2024Antichamber is one of the few games that actually messes with your brain. True underrated gem.
@Bakersvill
