Games with a Time Travel Puzzle

Recommendations by tggdan3 (Michigan)

Maybe the whole game isn't about time travel, but I really got into some games when they had a time travel puzzle in it- especially when it can be difficult to implement such a puzzle.

Best time travel puzzle I've seen- you even get to interact with your past and future selves!

More subtle than the enchanter puzzle, despite this game being the direct sequel. Requires a good memory of an earlier moment in the game. Or invisiclues.

Nothing beats finding your own time machine just laying around in a dungeon.

How fun when you play the beginning of the game again as someone else! Maybe not TECHNICALLY time travel, but effectivly the same.

Sometimes, a time travel puzzle is the only way to explain why the PC suddenly has magic at her disposal.
