Howdy, associates. I’m again once more with one other listing of fine Nintendo Change video games for cheap costs, this time diving into the deep seas of the puzzle recreation style. Per the same old guidelines, the common worth of the sport must be underneath ten United States {dollars}, which truly seems to supply us a somewhat sturdy choice of video games. I may have simply performed twenty with out breaking a candy. For now although, I’ve discovered ten enjoyable video games for underneath ten bucks. We’ll undergo my picks one after the other in no specific order. On to the video games!
Puyo Puyo Champions ($9.99)
There are numerous Puyo Puyo selections on the Change, and even on the sub-ten greenback vary we have now just a few totally different choices. Puyo Puyo Champions leans into the aggressive facet of the sport, and I feel in the end that’s the place the long-term enjoyable of Puyo Puyo comes from. As such, I’m going to offer this the nod over different video games within the collection, however in the event you aren’t desirous about enjoying in opposition to others it can save you a few bucks and seize the SEGA AGES Puyo Puyo 2 as an alternative.
Arcade Archives Tetris The Absolute The Grand Grasp 2 ($7.99)
Look, we have now to have at the very least one Tetris and one Arcade Archives consultant in any listing of puzzle video games, and right here we are able to take out each without delay. Whereas the primary Tetris The Grand Grasp was laser-focused on the professional participant, The Grand Grasp 2 makes just a few concessions for many who simply wish to play a recreation of Tetris. What makes this a superb decide is that if you end up able to step up your recreation, this may scale to your wants fairly properly. A variety of enjoyable for a good worth.
inbento ($4.99)
inbento has every little thing I prefer to see in a puzzle recreation. The presentation is charming, the mechanics are easy to grasp, and the problem curve is good. You’re given a restricted variety of ingredient blocks and strikes to create a lunch field that matches the goal image. It begins off very straightforward, however the warmth steadily will increase till you get to some outright devilish designs. I’m undecided if this one flew underneath the radar or hit its mark, however in the event you missed it, take into account this my advice to not… miss it. Sigh. Espresso please.
Suika Recreation ($2.99)
The viral hit that out of the blue rose to the highest of the ranks in 2023, Suika Recreation is a distant descendent of merging puzzlers like Triple Cities or Threes. Drop within the fruits, match them to amplify ones, and attempt to create a watermelon or two earlier than any fruits come out the highest. It’s a really satisfying recreation to play, and the way in which issues can out of the blue flip round simply whenever you suppose you’re completed by no means will get outdated. How good is that this? I misplaced my back-up Change to my spouse due to this recreation. I don’t suppose I’m getting it again.
Toki Tori ($4.99)
Toki Tori is a bit of totally different from the opposite video games on this listing to this point, because it falls into that puzzle-platformer gray zone the place individuals may take into account it to be both. To me, this recreation’s sturdy puzzle components imply you’re going to have to make use of your mind a bit greater than your guide dexterity, so right here we’re. Every stage duties you with gathering the eggs scattered about, and also you’re given a restricted set of instruments to perform that with. As the sport goes on, you get extra instruments to work with and more difficult layouts. An amazing recreation that has aged like effective wine.
Picross S Genesis & Grasp System Version ($9.99)
Nicely positive, we should always discover room on our listing for one Picross recreation. You’ll be able to select any of them, actually. There are fairly just a few that fulfill our ten greenback restrict. I picked this one for an excellent motive: it’s SEGA-themed. In the event you, like me, suppose juice tastes a bit of higher whenever you drink it from an Opa-Opa sippy cup, that is the Picross recreation for you. All joking apart, Picross is a little more enjoyable whenever you acknowledge the images you’re making, and Sonic and Alex Kidd are positively extra recognizable for many gamers than non-descript kitchen home equipment and such.
Puzzle Bobble / Bust-a-Transfer (16-Bit Console Model) ($7.99)
I’ve put an arbitrary restriction on myself to not embody multiple Arcade Archives recreation on this listing. In the event you don’t care, you will get a few the Puzzle Bobble sequels in that line for a similar worth as this one. However I feel there’s some worth on this Tremendous NES model of the primary recreation, because it was tuned for house play in a manner not one of the arcade video games could possibly be. As for Puzzle Bobble itself, it’s that acquainted formulation. Interesting visuals, music that sticks in your head, and gameplay that retains you coming again many times to attempt to do some higher.
Mother Hid My Recreation! ($4.99)
One other one dwelling in a gray zone, this time straddling the road between journey recreation and puzzle recreation. Your objective in every stage is to discover a solution to get your recreation console that has been taken away by your mom. Not solely do you want to discover the place she put it and the way to get it, it’s important to do it with out unintentionally tipping off mother as to what you’re doing. It’s very foolish and even manages to be a bit of sentimental, and the madcap manner issues play out make successes and failures equally amusing.
The Room ($9.99)
Right here’s a traditional for cellular recreation followers, and it’s thought of one for good motive. That is mainly a digital puzzle field, and an extremely elaborate one. It begins simply sufficient, however as you pull again every layer of the field issues get significantly more difficult. The environment is fascinating, and it’s spectacular how the sport can hold shocking you with new twists. You may as well seize the primary sequel for underneath ten {dollars} on Change, and it gives an expanded take that can certainly attraction to those that get pleasure from this recreation. I like to recommend this one just because I really feel it’s the very best place to start out.
Millie and Molly ($4.99)
Order of operations puzzle video games aren’t the latest factor round by any means, however I actually get pleasure from a well-made one right here and there. Millie and Molly is definitely a Commodore 64 recreation, I imagine, and it’s one closely impressed by the traditional Recreation Boy recreation Catrap/Pitman. It’s worthwhile to take out the entire monsters in every stage, a activity that solely requires you push into them. However you’ll be able to’t bounce, so when you’ve fallen down from a excessive place it’s typically unimaginable to get again up. It’s all about taking out blocks and monsters within the appropriate order, and puzzling out the answer for every is as satisfying as it’s difficult.
And that can do it for this listing. Do you have got any favourite Nintendo Change puzzle video games underneath ten {dollars} that aren’t right here?
