UFO 50's extensive game collection is inspiring, to say the least. With this many games, you can expect them to come in a wide variety of genres, and some of the best and most unique games in this retro collection of NES inspired games are the title of the puzzle, or “thinking” game as it were. Officially listed in the game.

Although puzzle-solving games aren't necessarily what everyone thinks of when they imagine video games from the 1980s, UFO 50 brilliantly combines brain-teasing game design with a classic 40-year-old aesthetic that still lives in the DNA of modern gaming. . These eight titles are different from each other, which is a testament to UFO 50's ability to be different and bold.

8 Block Koala

Pushing blocks is as basic as solving a puzzle in a video game, and that's what Block Koala is all about. Your goal is to push the numbered blocks to the right of each other, creating stronger blocks that will unlock the exit of each step.

With its simple and cute graphics and sound, it looks like it could be a Disney game on NES or Sega Genesis. It also has an overworld that unlocks new stages as you collect more stars, just like the old Mario games.

7 Camouflage

Another animal-themed game is Camouflage, where you control a lizard that can change to any color based on the terrain it lands on. Each stage goes through water, sand, dirt and tree trunks to find your lizard and reach the ultimate goal of not being eaten by the prey.

As a stealth game at heart, Camouflage has simple controls and rules but is one of the more challenging puzzle games in UFO 50. The checkpoints are spacious, but that's because they can come death and failure are very fast.

6 Attack

Attactics is one of the more strategic games about collecting UFOs. It's not Fire Emblem or Advanced Warfare, but it manages to be a very deep game despite the simple controls and premise. Each level has you defending and attacking, placing your troops in the best possible situation based on what is thrown at you.

There are different soldiers, each with their own skills. The spear is long horizontally, but the ninja can aim up and down. Each level goes out of its way to allow you so much that only your wits can lead you to victory and glory.

5 Rail Heist

Although Rail Heist may seem like an action game due to its western theme, it is undeniably a stealth puzzle game. In every level you jump on a big train, trying to steal what you need to steal.

With limited ammo per challenge, you need to think carefully about which thugs and guards you want to take out – if you want to pull anything off. It gets difficult quickly, but provides excitement during each escape sequence, making it the only entry in UFO 50.

4 Party house

You might be surprised to find that such a game is actually a deckbuilding game, but it's true. Party House is all about getting the best guests to attend your party. But doing so doesn't cause enough of a disturbance to attract the police or fire department.

There are two main resources in this game: fame and money. Pop allows you to invite new guests with their own abilities, and money allows you to upgrade your place so you can have a bigger party. If you can throw a 4-star party in 25 turns or less, consider yourself a party-throwing god.

3 Night Manor

Night Manor is the only tour of all 50 UFOs, which makes it unique. A horror game based on classic horror titles, such as Clock Tower and Haunting Ground.

But at its core, Night Manor is a puzzle game, something that quickly becomes clear. It only takes a few minutes of playing before your list is filled with random items that need to be used in context or carefully combined. Be sure to check as much as you can, because it's easy to miss important details that could save your life.

2 Quibble Race

Quibble Race isn't the only racing game in UFO 50, but it's the only one with a serious gambling element and feels like a thief at heart. You will bet on which of the little aliens will win each race, but the twist is your chance to enter a thug who can cripple the opponent or give your own runner extra juice, so to speak.

There is a lot of luck in this game, as some races will have debris falling from the sky, but knowing how to invest in tips, loans and trainers is key to the first arrival. Despite its many mechanics, it's surprisingly one of the easiest games out of all of UFO 50 and would be a great introduction to the collection for anyone with a sense of size.

1 Warptank

Warptank may sound like a Metal Slug-style action game, but it's more like a puzzle platformer. You happen to be in control of a tank that can teleport to a parallel scene in the blink of an eye.

Warptank is a fun game that has a variety of designs, huge obstacles, powerful music, scary bosses and dozens of secrets. Even if you have a shoot button, you'll spend most of your time teleporting out of harm's way. Perfect retro graphics and good controls make it look like a lost classic 8-bit game, and that's what UFO 50 is all about.
