Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Gathering evidence and building the correct argument chain is a solvable deduction loop
Time Hollow
Deducing where and when to open portals is fixed-solution puzzling
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
