Best Of
Games should ideally give you a dopamine rush when you ace a win.
However, some games are designed with such complexity that they give you more headaches than happiness.
Here are some of the worst puzzle games of all time.
The game is philosophical and based on ancient Greek principles.
The game opens with an android in a calm environment, summoned on a mission by an unseen body.
The unnamed character is an android with a human-like consciousness.
To complete the mission, the character must solve at least 120 puzzles and Sigil Riddles within the game.
Each puzzle is more complex than the one before it.
As the complexity of each puzzle and riddle increases, you might end up dreading solving them.
Gamers often find it rather puzzling and give up at some point.
For many people who stumble upon the game, it is practically impossible to play it without a guide.
Cat Hair Mustache Puzzle
The puzzleis so tough that it got its own Wikipedia page.
The game’s developer, Steven Hill, took over to complete it.
People hated it, and it has been called the worst puzzle in adventure games.
First released in 1980, it got updates in graphics and gameplay up until 2016.
Like in fairy tales, the player has to say the gnome’s name backward.
Without this knowledge, you are left contending which one between your mind or the game is broken.
Good luck cooking that up without a guide.
The Longest Journeys The Rubber Duck
The year is 1990.
The lead character, April, is an 18-year-old who is a shifter and can travel to two worlds.
Then April comes across the rubber duck stuck in the subway.
The duck is too shiny to ignore, and April wants to save it.
The process of saving this duck is where they get you.
The steps to saving the duck include a seagull, a clothespin, and a clamp.
Unsurprisingly, the video game version is full of it as well.
Getting this Babel fish is where your brain gets the overload.
However, these five games are downright crazy.
