Question 1

What are Critical Thinking Games?

Accepted Answer

Critical Thinking Games are games that force players to use their heads to figure out what the next move is. It is a challenging playlist that is kind of a crossover between strategy games and logic games. Oftentimes, the answer won't be right in front of players. Instead, they will have to think and use their brain in order to find the next step. A great example is There Is No Game. In this title, players must try out different strategies in order to progress in the game. By using subtle clues such as hints given by the narrator, players are able to find the next correct process and continue on with the game.
