StaceyPowers Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Do you enjoy puzzles in video games? Obviously I know a lot of people do, considering there are whole games which are puzzle-based. I've enjoyed puzzle-based games myself, though not too often. I liked Myst way back in the mists of time, but most of the time these days I just seem to find puzzles in video games frustrating and tedious. Actually, they were often tedious and frustrating in Myst as well. It just makes me wonder if anyone finds them relaxing or exciting. For my part, I'm far more likely to want to rage-quit over a puzzle I can't grasp than a boss I can't defeat. Those computer puzzles in Fallout games drive me crazy for example. I'm stubborn though, so I will try repeatedly to hack a terminal until I get it. But it makes me angry the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I do enjoy a well designed puzzle in my video games, but the problem is many puzzles in games these days aren't very well designed. I think that's why I love Limbo and Inside so much; mainly because most of the puzzles in those games were incredibly well designed and thoughtful.

Demon_skeith Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Just as long as they aren't over complicated. I enjoy a good brain teaser or something that takes a little thought. Just nothing as major as what Myst had going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joant73 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I like puzzles for sure, both when they are included well into an RPG or even games that are purely puzzles. For example, I think the first God of War had awesome puzzles, just hard enough but nothing you were stuck on forever, the sequels went a bit away from that and focused more on the action, which was fine but I liked the puzzles in the original. Also, I enjoyed some of Skyrim's puzzles although they were fairly easy. And Portal 2 is a great game, and all puzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Well, if the puzzles are too difficult for me to solve, it's definitely going to be frustrating for me with playing the game. It's the only thing I hate about solving puzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I can't get entangled with puzzles, it's not my thing, when though I do cross some tough puzzles during some difficult adventure games, but I've never felt happy crossing the puzzle.

Seriously - I have actually tried to get used to playing puzzle games but it's something that's very frustrating for me most times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I hate it when I encounter puzzles via video game I find interesting. But if it's some I can pass without much trials, then I'll move on with the game, but if it's simply confusing and hard to beat, I'll simply drop down from playing the game.

Head_Hunter Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Some action-adventure games have puzzles, and most times their puzzles are quite difficult. Making the game being boring at some point, Human Fall Flat is one example of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind a bit of difficulty in puzzles but when it's like finding different items across multiple realms just to solve a single puzzle, that's where I draw the line.

I wouldn't go further with such game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Puzzle games are really frustrating no matter how you look but it helps me to think faster when it comes to problem solving. It's the only thing that I appreciate so much about playing puzzle in video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Puzzle video games aren't what I'm keen to playing most of the time unless I don't have any other playing choice but to stick with playing it till I have good alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their is no how I'll be running out of games to play which will force me playing all-round puzzle game that has nothing to do with adventure, action, horror video games.

It's something that's part of some games that you can't really do without not playing the puzzles that comes with the game. It's just like the ones that are in Tomb Raider.
