7 Video Game Puzzles That Made No !@$&ing Sense

If you’ve played any point-and-click adventures, you know that some of the puzzles are absolutely inspired. These are the puzzles that make you feel stumped. They seem impossible. And then something amazing happens and your gestalt switch flips and everything makes sense.
