7 Videogame Puzzles Only A Genius Can Solve

Rob is currently stuck on 7 videogame puzzles only a genius can solve. Have you faced any of these hard puzzles? Can you think of any we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments.

Getting stuck on a game puzzle isn’t the same as getting stuck on a boss or a platforming challenge. It’s not about reflexes or speed, but about pushing your brain to breaking point. Solve the puzzle and you feel great. Doubly so if you manage to beat the hardest puzzles without using walkthroughs or guides. And if you didn’t? Join our club. If you are looking for good puzzle games, this week’s features loads of good ones. Did this week’s Friday feature miss your favourite puzzles? Pop them in the comments.

And if you’re just joining us: yes, Rob’s Friday Features are back. Catch up on recent episodes here…

Commenting as my damn self because I did the Jindosh lock and this comment might annoy Rob

Cracking the language in Tunic is probably one of the most rewarding puzzles in gaming history.

The Onimusha Warlords' water trap puzzle I thought was fun, but alot of people hate it. My brother throw me the controller to do it after a 30 minutes trying to get it and then I solve it in about five minutes. He hated me for the rest of the day. Memories of childhood.

Special Mention: Tunic. The whole game. Especially figuring out the Golden Path. I mean you could make an entire video like this just on Tunic.

I finished the original Final Fantasy 7 recently for the first time, I enjoyed playing it and had a good time.

That Witness set of puzzles was about a weeklong hellscape for me, but eventually got through it. And really glad to see Grim Fandango in a Friday Feature!!

I completed MYST at age 13 with english being my second language. My best puzzle achievement ever.

It's one of my favorite games, but the first time I played Catherine my poor young brain melted. '"So I push that block there, and climb it to get that block, then push that block on top of another block and climb backwards around to another block and I'm dead."🤯

The Challenge has cost me more stress than anything in my life. I've been coming back to it for 7 years.

But solving those puzzles THAT quickly. I feel like it's impossible. :(
But I want that Platinum.

[GageStorer]

I loved doing the Jindosh lock. The fact that you can't just look up the answer made it even sweeter because that trophy is proof you did it by solving it properly.

I always knew Dave's well-spoken, pleasant disposition was an act, no one can be that nice! We've seen his true form here!

[otterpoet]

That Sphinx puzzle did me in. I think I was 80+ hours into the game when I got that one, and was like... 'Uuuuuhhh, you want what now?!'

[Angeal]

Evergrace and the level the underground shrine. This old From software game from the PS2 era was one I will always remember as a kid. I remember being stuck for days on what I should do to get through the door at the end of the level. When I found out that I had to combine two colors to make another with the mirrors, that I was so ecstatic that I worked out the solution.

[Nortic]

Ah, so many happy memories from this video. Grim Fandango, Broken Sword, I need to replay them now, with my thinking cap at the ready!

[DanRPGMan]

Discworld, Riven and Myst are could be on multiple lists for difficult puzzles.I've completed Myst VR but not without taking my headset off to jot down notes to get to the answer to puzzle because at the time there wasn't a notebook in the game. That tram puzzle especially, had to note the sounds each cross section of the tracks makes and it was maddening. I haven't played Riven VR yet.

[ABadassDragon]

I felt like Einstein once i cracked the Jindosh lock. Spent hours trying to figure out how it works and genuenly enjoyed figuring it out, it was awesome

[mikkdc]

The Witness. The Challenge = Reason I don't have the Platinum for that game.

As for a game with lots of puzzley puzzles, which had me reaching for a guide after hearing "That doesn't work...." far too many times - Discworld. Some of the puzzles in that game were down right ridiculous. It's still one of my fave point and clickers, though.

[FZERO]

I’m really glad yall still making videos. I been watching this channel since I was a kid pretty much

It was a proud day when I earned The Witness platinum and put The Challenge behind me! 🥳 That music still gives me chills even now lol 😅

Another great video Rob and the team, Delsin made my day once again 😆 Looking forward to the next one! 👍
