GO series puzzles
Developed by SQUARE ENIX, this is a cool puzzle series that takes characters and story from a pre-made game franchise into a new puzzle adventure setting. So, three franchises – Hitman, Lara Croft and Deus Ex – fell into the hands of developers, and each of the games received a positive response from players and critics. But you don't have to be a fan of this or that series, it doesn't hurt to enjoy the GO version, although fans seem to like this approach to their favorite games.
These are highly stylized turn-based puzzles that guarantee hours of pure gaming fun – best of all, they're on sale, each one you can get for less than a cup of coffee. Let's take a look at them one by one.
Hitman go
It was the first franchise to be converted to GO puzzle format. You play as Agent 47 and must fight your way through security using all the same methods as in the full-fledged Hitman game on PC or console: disguise, distraction, sniper rifles and, of course, the famous Silverballer pistols. For each level, there are numerous ways of passing – it depends on whether you want, for example, to be quiet and inconspicuous, or, conversely, deadly and crushing. You decide what kind of agent you are, and one by one you eliminate your main goals.

Lara croft go
Tomb Raider returns as a version that brings a new twist to Hitman Go's take on the puzzle genre. Lara Croft is still athletic and still looking for adventure, and she avoids deadly traps and encounters with enemies due to the fact that you solve puzzles as you progress through more than 100 levels, divided into six chapters. The award-winning game will surely captivate you with its excellent visuals – and you will not be able to tear yourself away from ever-challenging puzzles.

Deus Ex GO
Finally, the latest franchise to receive a GO-style rework is Deus Ex. The visual part reminds of the cyberpunk style of the original game, but the gameplay has been enriched with new elements. You play as Adam Jensen, who tries to solve a complex riddle, making his way through a well-guarded fortress. This game has perhaps the most interesting storyline among all three, and also contains time puzzles and a level editor in which you can develop levels and share them in the community of players, as, indeed, you can pass other people's.
