I do love me a good puzzle game! I wouldn't call myself a die-hard, but I enjoy the typically arcade-style gameplay of puzzlers, plus there's some remarkably heavy cross-over with my beloved weird weeb-y niche titles. it certainly doesn't hurt that puzzle games tend to be 'hidden gem' type titles, and can be had on the cheap for most games. Some personal favorites are Columns (the original match-3 gem game!), Octomania (a odd one on the Wii which brings in a timing element) Puyo Puyo Tetris (two great tastes that go great together!), and the newest addition- Crystal Crisis. Quite possibly the best game I never knew I wanted: A spiritual sequel to Super Puzzle Fighter, featuring a crossover cast of indie game icons from titles like Cave Story, the Binding of Issac, Code of Princess... plus Osama Tezuka's Astroboy & Blackjack... and short-lived Turbografx mascot Johnny Turbo... and the whole thing's narrated by Peter Cullen. It's a niche nerd's fever dream and I love it!
