Some PlayStation games demand more than reflexes they challenge players to rethink their strategies or even question the game's rules. Whether it’s the psychological depth of Disco Elysium, the reality-bending puzzles of The Witness, or the fourth-wall-breaking moments in Metal Gear Solid, PlayStation has a history of mind-bending experiences. What’s a PlayStation game that forced you to think differently, and what made it stand out?

Is this PlayStation exclusives, or games on multiple platforms?

One of my favorite PlayStation games that challenges creativity is "The Witness." Its intricate puzzles require unconventional thinking and exploration. The beautiful environment and thought-provoking mechanics make it a rewarding experience, pushing players to approach problems from different angles.

No. Games that are/have been on PlayStation consoles. It doesn't necessarily have to be a PlayStation exclusive.

I have not played "The Witness" but have read great reviews about the game. I believe that it resonates with everything that you just said in terms of the games pushing you beyond your limits.
