Puzzlers usually fall into that category. If that's up your alley you should try the Talos Principle.
My favourite game of all time, hands down.
Why do i keep bouncing off this game? I keep hearing it's great and then i play a bit and get bored. I don't get far. Is there a point i need to get to where the story opens up?
Much like the gameplay itself, the story is another puzzle. You assemble the story from bits of emails and voice recordings that you find around the place.
There's some reading required to appreciate it, as you find the emails and the various philosophical texts around the place. If you get bored, maybe that just isn't for you. But I'd encourage you to give it a shot and see the story as another puzzle.
Thanks, i didn't know to look for the story as a puzzle as well. It might not be for me, but Ill know what to expect next time and i can give it an honest go
If you don't already know.. the "corrupt" text in the terminals is where a lot of the semi-secret story clues are - especially in the beginning. If you want to know how to read it, lemme know and I'll tell you what you need. Otherwise, no spoilers.
That said, the puzzles in the game are pretty consistent throughout, so if solving 3d spatial arrangements of laser beams isn't fun for you - it's not gonna get any better.
I've played it once, waited a few years until I forgot the solution to all puzzles, and then played it again.
I'll probably replay it again a few more years from now. I love that game.
