So Tiles of Fate is this weirdly satisfying NES puzzle game where you match symbols to clear the board—but there’s a catch. You can only connect two tiles if symmetry lets you draw a line between them with two right-angle turns max, and no sneaking through other tiles. At first, it feels simple, then suddenly you’re staring at the screen like, "Wait, how do I even reach that one?"

Luckily, some tiles hide special powers—like the Flash of Chance, which lets you zap any matching pair no matter where they are, or the Flag of Knowledge that just solves a move for you when you’re totally stuck. (I may or may not have abused that one.) The real kicker? You can build your own levels with the editor, which is great until your friends send you impossible puzzles out of spite.

It’s the kind of game where you swear you’ll stop after one level, then suddenly it’s been an hour.
