Adventure puzzle games typically feature a succession of puzzles that go beyond a single-screen play area. They may involve guiding a group of characters to safety through a series of dangers, or having them trigger a set of switches to open an exit. The method of solving the puzzle is usually more important than the time it takes, so there is typically more emphasis on thinking than on quick reflexes. Games that might otherwise be considered platform titles fall under this category when the focus is on solving puzzles rather than directly controlling the character. |
