Limbo is the well-known artistic puzzle video game developed by Playdead. In Limbo, you’ll control a young boy who wakes up in the middle of a dark forest. You’re not sure of how you got there, or why you’re there in the first place. You will soon find out that it’s a pretty dangerous place, and realize you need to get out of there. While it only takes 5 to 6 hours to beat, you’ll definitely enjoy your time living on the edge of the danger zone.

Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones is a 2D puzzle game developed by CurveDigital. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the sequel to the Stealth Bastard Deluxe. In Stealth Inc. 2: A Game of Clones, you’ll need to make your way through challenging puzzles while trying to take control of multiple clones.

If you can’t wait for the list of new games to arrive, be sure to check out last month’s promotion here.

Everything announced at PlayStation State of Play February 2025

After a strange but ultimately successful 2024, Sony unveiled its plans for 2025 with a State of Play -- or at least, partially. Rather than focusing on big first-party games like Ghost of Yotei and Marvel's Wolverine, the 45 minute showcase almost exclusively focused on upcoming third-party games. We got release dates for Borderlands 4 and Metal Gear Solid Delta, filling us in on what's coming in the second half of 2025. We even got a surprise release in Warriors: Abyss, a new Musou roguelike from Koei Tecmo available today.

There was just a smidge of first-party news. Sony ended strong with a teaser for Saros, a new game from the studio behind Returnal. We also saw Days Gone Remastered, which will give Sony's zombie game a similar treatment to The Last of Us Part 2. Unfortunately, we didn't get any Bloodborne news at this as fans had hoped, but it was still an intriguing showcase. Here's everything that Sony announced at the February 2025 State of Play.

Most of the best PS5 games include puzzle elements, but they aren't typically the main focus. These usually amount to a simple logic or physics obstacle used to break up the pacing and not actually cause you to sit and think for a few minutes to solve. Those of us who love a good head-scratcher are forced to find games where puzzle solving is the focus, and thankfully the PS5 has some of the most creative and challenging puzzle games ever made. These games play with space, language, perspective, and logic in ways that will force you to really flex your brain muscles to solve. In many ways, puzzle games are among the hardest video games ever made, but overcoming them comes down to pure intelligence rather than skill. If you need a new mental challenge, here are the best puzzle games on PS5.

If you have already managed to outsmart all of our picks, check to see what new puzzle games are coming in our list of upcoming PS5 games.
