The puzzle genre is always hit or miss every year. There’s never a slew of AAA puzzle titles in the works, so what we usually get are surprise indie games that usually make a big splash and sell fairly well. 2017 was not that year, but it wasn’t completely empty.
Tetris Effect
Tetris may seem like a weird choice for the best puzzle game, but when was the last time you played an amazing Tetris iteration? How about in VR? Tetris Effect is by far the best version in years and it doesn’t try to add a ton of features or modes, just quality over quantity and you can’t be mad at that.
