My list of must play puzzle games is far too short: Portal, Portal 2, Demon’s Souls, and Baba is You. It’s amazing to me that I’ve never heard of a game this lauded.

Prepare yourself to get inundated with recommendations. Antichamber, Tunic, Talos Principle, Blue Prince, Return of the Obra Dinn, Outer Wilds, Superliminal, literally every Zachtronics game (most especially Opus Magnum)...

No "The Witness"? Not incredibly challenging, but I very much enjoyed its blend of puzzling and aesthetic.

I don't think I've ever heard of Demon's Souls being categorized as a puzzle game. I suppose some of the bosses have a trick to figure out? But I'd still think it falls into the action RPG genre by a wide margin.

Give "Please Don't Touch Anything" a try.

Demon’s Souls???

I guess Zelda, Metroid and Half-Life also count as puzzle games then. :)
