    I’d still say Tetris because of its simplicity, but Portal is definitely brilliant.

    stanley’s parable was quite a puzzle

  3. SnackAtNightXP

    I wouldn’t go that far, but it is one of the best puzzle platformers around.

    Portal 2 would like to join the conversation.

    The witness (pc) called and want to talk.

    The first one, or the second one?

    That’s the *real* question here.

    talos is a little better overall imo, but nothing beats glados

    I mean I’m open to better options but I think portal is great! I just want more puzzle games with unique rules

    This is how I felt until I played Baba is You. No game has ever made me feel so smart and so dumb at the same time. It’s just a terrific puzzle game.

    Also while not the best puzzle game I’ve ever played, I think Gorogoa is criminally underplayed. It’s so unique and beautiful and everyone should play it.

    Speaking purely as a puzzle game, I agree that Portal is the best.

    Personally, I’d say The Talos Principle is my favourite. Great puzzle game with an unexpected dose of an existential crisis about consciousness and what it means to be human.

    Baba is You is my personal favourite but Portal 2 is stellar

    I see that you have never played The Talos Principle.

    Portal is certainly a great game, but The Talos Principle can easily compete with it.

    Manifold Garden or The Talos Principle are better imho

    While it’s not comparable to Portal, I loved some puzzles in The Outer Wilds.

    Some other contenders to consider:

    – Outer Wilds

    – Baba is You

    – The Witness

    – The Talos Principle

    Desperately hoping for a Portal 3 that I know will never happen. I’d love for them to incorporate a “creation” mode where players can design their own puzzles. I love these games to death but years later I still know how to solve them. A creation mode would give us endless puzzles!

    But it’ll never happen unfortunately

    The Witness is my favorite puzzle game of all time.

    Not sure if I’d say these next two are better but it’s close:

    Manifold garden

    Antechamber

    Portal is truly great. But it isn’t entirely approachable to people who aren’t accustomed to these kinds of movement/camera controls.

    Just about anyone can play Tetris.
