While it's a "hybrid" of Hidden Object & Puzzle (the hidden objects are used to solve puzzles), I can't overstate how awesome the Zero Escape Series is.
1 & 2 (999 & VLR) are on PS4 as the "Nonary Games", as well as the originals on the DS/3DS/Vita. 3 Has gotten a mixed reaction but 1 & 2 are as solid as a story you will find in ANY game. I think I might said this before but, it's truly mind-blowing.
On a tablet, phone or even the DS, sure, on a console -> never.
I think they are more casual games for when I'm traveling to the office by train. Like Candy Crush or something like that.
And only if they're free, I would not want to spend any money on these type of games.
