Luckily forPlayStationgamers, theres a whole host of high-quality puzzle games available on the PS4 and PS5.
19Viewfinder
Viewfinder is a unique puzzle game that has an incredible core mechanic driving its story.
It’s short, simple, and surprisingly moving, with puzzles that actually feel meaningful.
Yet, the remastered Anniversary Edition has come out on the later Sony systems.
It features improved visuals and some new levels.
It contains the same high quality of platforming and puzzle-solving as the original.
Most of the puzzles revolve manipulating time to create a path forward.
While completing these well-designed trials, you get to appreciated the title’s beautiful art-style and surprisingly deep story.
Along with waddling around, you could also grab things and pull yourself up on ledges.
With these limited abilities and wacky physics, you must complete various different puzzles throughout the game.
What’s interesting is how fire up the game is.
You’re simply placed into an area and told to reach the end goal.
As such, you’re free to complete the puzzles anyway you deserve.
Sometimes, you’ve got the option to even climb over walls to avoid puzzles completely.
This is seemingly allowed, as you’re encouraged to be creative.
14Little Nightmares 2
Puzzle games aren’t tied to a specific visual style.
Some puzzlers are bright and colorful, while others are dark and creepy.
Little Nightmares 2 certainly fits into the latter group, as this is an unsettling puzzle-platform adventure.
Who doesn’t like a good story with their puzzles?
You play as a little protagonist, who journies through many dark places.
Some of them include weird creatures that are trying to get you.
So, most of the puzzles revolve around avoiding their gaze and grasp.
If you are caught, you die instantly.
Therefore, there is a bit of a survival element to this title.
13Untitled Goose Game
The core concept of Untitled Goose Game is as simple as it gets.
You play as an obnoxious Goose who roams around a village and torments the people living there.
The village is split into a few different areas.
When you enter one, you’re given a list of things to accomplish in that area.
Most of the tasks involve stealing things or tricking people in some way.
While it might not sound like it, these are actually puzzles that you must complete.
Some are small and obvious, while others are a lot trickier.
All of them are a lot of fun, and the game is very comical.
It’s also unique, as not many games put you in the role of a mischievous goose.
12Superhot
While there are manyfirst-person puzzle titles, there aren’t many first-person shooter puzzlers.
After all, the genres are complete opposites.
Yet, the team behind Superhot has managed to meld them together in a clever way.
For every level, you’re put into a completely white room that contains red enemies.
Each one of them can kill you in one shot.
You have to figure out a way to get them first.
This process is compelling and surprisingly challenging.
You control two adorable creatures that are completely made of yarn.
Puzzle games are a blast to play but even more fun with a friend.
Here are some of the best two-player co-op titles.
Most of the puzzling and platforming in the game revolves around swinging.
You also need to push some things and do the occasional wall jump.
It’s all about progressing to the end of each colorful level.
