Luckily, there are a good handful of puzzle games that not only encourage the player to keep playing them but they actively continue to change each time the experience is picked up. Randomization and satisfying puzzle design are just a few of the factors that encourage replayability in the puzzle genre.

7 Papers, Please

Even with a full guide available to look at in-game, Papers, Please still requires players to be as detail-oriented as possible. This is especially true given the fact that each attempt at beating the game will include new scenarios and issues that didn't pop up previously.

Papers, Please takes place in the fictional country of Arstotzka, where the player is put in the shoes of an immigration officer who must approve entry to the country. As the game progresses, the officer is given more rules and regulations to stay on top of, making it more difficult to approve or turn away citizens.

6 Mini Motorways

For those who find satisfaction in making connections, Mini Motorways is all about doing just that. The strategy game puts players into scenarios where they are given a set of buildings and cars that have matching colors. The goal of the game is to connect the car and building of the same color.

To keep the game going, cars need to be able to reach specific buildings and pick up a pin. If too many pins accumulate on a single building, a countdown will begin until either the pins are collected, or the game is over. Mini Motorways also provides options for upgrading, such as traffic lights and bridges.

5 Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes

Escape rooms are always a fun type of puzzle concept, although it can be stressful when it revolves around disarming a bomb. Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a party puzzle game where one player is in charge of handling a bomb, and the other player has the manual but can't look at the screen.

While the game does have a main campaign, Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes will always provide a new bomb for every attempt made on a specific level of difficulty, which is perfect for those who want to play with new people each time. Puzzles include tasks like cutting wires, understanding Morse code, and Simon Says.

4 Picross

Sometimes, there doesn't need to be randomization to get players to come back to a game. Maybe a game can just have so many puzzles over a variety of packages that the game can almost be endless. That is the idea of Nintendo's Picross series.

The idea of Picross is to slowly fill out boxes on a grid based on instructions given on the top and left side of the chart that indicates how many boxes are filled in. Doing so will slowly reveal an image, with the image being fully revealed once all necessary boxes are filled. There are eight entries currently out now on the Nintendo Switch.

3 Dorfromantik

A chill puzzle game is nice every once in a while, and Dorfromantik provides this relaxing experience in the form of a city builder using tiles. Players will start will a single tile placed on the board. The goal is to place tiles and orient them based on if they have a matching biome.

Most tiles have at least one biome on them but could contain multiple, along with structures like buildings and railroads that can be matched as well. If players are not into the normal gameplay where tiles can run out, Dorfromantik does have a creative mode where there are endless tiles for individuals to build the city they want.

Speaking of tile-matching, there are many famous titles that have made this type of puzzle game famous. One of them is Bejeweled 3, one of the sequels to one of the biggest puzzle games in the world. While this experience is like any other game in the franchise, this one comes with eight modes.

This includes a classic mode, which includes getting gems in a row to eliminate them from the board. Other Bejeweled 3 modes include a challenge-focused Quest mode, a laid-back Zen mode, and a handful of secret modes that are unlocked the more the game is played.

1 Tetris Effect: Connected

It is hard to find a game that has been reinvented and released as many times as Tetris has. But one of the most recent iterations of the franchise makes the classic stand out even more than it already has. That is Tetris Effect: Connected, a stylish and deep entry into the long lineage of Tetris games.
