- bee_rider 6mo agoWell Zelda games consistently feature block-pushing puzzles so I guess Baba Is Zelda.
- pocksuppet 6mo agoaccidentally makes PEACH IS FORT Sorry Mario, but your princess is another castle!
- Wowfunhappy 6mo agoMetroid, Half-Life, and Demon's Souls I would take issue with, but I've always considered Zelda a puzzle game, and I never questioned it until now. I suppose the new Breath of the Wild / Tears of the Kingdom titles are more action-oriented, but everything in the mold of Ocarina of Time is a puzzle game with some light combat sprinkled on top.
- cubefox 6mo agoDungeons contain mainly puzzles, but otherwise it's a lot of combat and story and side quests, similar to most RPGs.
- Wowfunhappy 6mo agoBut the overworld missions are basically all puzzles! I don't think there's more combat in the overworld than in dungeons.
- Waterluvian 6mo agoI was being a bit silly but the Souls series do have a metroidvania angle to them. Also each enemy, especially the bosses, are small puzzles where you figure out how they work and then how to overcome them.
- throwaway219450 6mo agoI would put Golden Sun in there. It’s a good JRPG, but there is a lot of Sokoban-like play in the environments.
- bitwize 6mo agoThe boxing in (Mike Tyson's) Punch-Out!! is so cartoony and abstract that it's been described as not really a boxing game, but a puzzle game that involves throwing punches.
