I gotta admit i was always leaning more toward the classic 3rd person games, but suddenly i realized i miss good ol' 1st person puzzles fest like 7th Guest, Myst, Timelapse...

In 2010. all we gotta of this sort is Rhem 4. It seems like heavy puzzle-oriented games have found their secret hideout in the form of console games like Professor Leyton, but it's more of a series of puzzles that are not integral part of the gameworld.

Keepsake tried an interesting thing with befriending 1st person puzzles and 3rd person gameplay, and most of the story-oriented games lately have some kind of logic puzzles and mini-games in them. But i'd really like to see revision of the sub-genre, even it now seems more demanding for developers to come up with set of original and challenging logic puzzles than with the story.
