One of the best puzzle games ever released on windows. Perfect to chill out and relax after a long day at work. I really missed it and hope it will be back in some form :)

This is one of most creative puzzle games that have existed 'till nowadays. This game was created and developed by the creator of Tetris, Alexey Pajitnov, and I'm waiting for a great remaster for this game.

I think this is owned by Micros*ft so chance of this appearing here are almost nonexistent. Still this is one of the best puzzle game on PC from that era and I would love to play it again. Very good audio visuals too.

It was the pinnacle of casual gaming at the time and still a worthy one in 2025. Sure, the graphics are nowhere near the now-standard 1080p, let alone higher ones (or even widescreen). But still, the game is a fine blend of simple jigsaw puzzle-solving and a "story mode", where you roam from a city to city, looking for legendary tricksters and their puzzle pieces. The main content - puzzles - are works of art in terms of painting, photography, sculptures or pottery, always inspiring to discover more about various parts of our world. The overall setting, the ambient soundtrack, even the stylish GUI all make this game feel like a journey. Who doesn't love journeys?

MediEvil
MediEvilMediEvil is an action-adventure game developed by SCE Cambridge Studio and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Originally released in 1998 for the PlayStation, the game follows Sir Daniel Fortesque, a skeletal knight accidentally resurrected to battle the sorcerer Zarok and save the kingdom of Gallowmere. The game takes place across a variety of levels, many of which require certain objectives to be performed to progress. Sir Daniel Fortesque can use a variety of weapons, consisting of close range weapons such as swords and clubs to long range weapons such as crossbows. Many of these weapons can be charged for a powerful attack and some weapons, such as the club, can be used to access areas that are otherwise inaccessible. When not possessing any items, Dan is able to rip his own arm off and use it for both melee and ranged attacks. Dan can equip a shield alongside weapons to defend against attacks; though they can only take several hits of damage before breaking. Throughout the game, Dan can visit gargoyle heads of two varieties; green ones offer Dan information while blue ones allow Dan to buy services or ammunition by using the treasures he finds. Dan's health is determined by a single health bar, which reduces when Dan is hit. It will deplete completely if Dan drowns or falls from a great height. If Dan completely runs out of health, the game will end. Dan can extend his maximum health by collecting Life Bottles, which will automatically refill his health bar if it drops to zero. Also hidden throughout the game are Life Vials and Life Fountains that can replenish Dan's health and fill up any empty Life Bottles Dan has. In each level, there is a hidden Chalice of Souls, which can be collected if the player fills it with enough souls from defeated enemies (some Chalices are awarded via other means). If the player clears a level with a Chalice in hand, Dan is warped to the Hall of Heroes, where he can speak to a legendary hero who will give him rewards, such as weapons. If the player finishes the game with all the Chalices, the game's true ending is revealed.
