And some of you may already know some of the games mentioned in this list.
#5. Puddle
- Release Data: Neko Entertainment, 2013
- Genre: Puzzle » Action
Puddle is a mechanically sound game that’s good for fans of physics puzzles.
The presentation is solid, and even though the controls aren’t the most optimal, they get the job done and provide enough options.
At times, the stark jump in difficulty can be a turn-off, but if you can handle that, you’ll find this title to be a good distraction.
#4. Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars
- Release Data: Nintendo Software Technology/Nintendo, 2015
- Genre: Puzzle » Action
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is very reminiscent of Lemmings, as the goal is to guide Mario and friends through levels by manipulating objects around them, instead of directly controlling them.
All in all, it is a hugely enjoyable action puzzler with some really fantastic ideas and mechanics.
#3. Scribblenauts Unlimited
- Release Data: 5TH Cell/Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, 2012
- Genre: Puzzle » Action
The campaign could be considered to be on the short side, and the multiplayer gameplay leaves much to be desired, but, as always, Scribblenauts is about the pure joy of extending your imagination.
This is the kind of game that looks great, controls well, and provides a lot of family-friendly fun.
#2. Toki Tori 2
- Release Data: Two Tribes, 2013
- Genre: Puzzle » Action
This sequel is quite different from the original Toki Tori, giving players new abilities to use.
Players can interact with the environment as well as the creatures that inhabit it, documenting their findings on a handy codex.
The Wii U version of the game features new puzzles and music, bringing out even more content to this already fleshed out game.
#1. Little Inferno
- Release Data: Tomorrow Corporation, 2012
- Genre: Puzzle » Action
Little Inferno is an extremely divisive experience due to its interesting and satirical approach to the puzzle genre.
As you interact with items around you, you can place them in the fire, burning them and witnessing the results.
In many ways, Little Inferno is like your own personal sandbox; albeit with a lot of fire.
