Puzzles and puzzles –or puzzle to dry, as they say now - they are part of a genre that has always fascinated me. Perhaps because it is a type of game that does not depend on how good you are at pressing buttons, or on your reflexes. What counts here is how hard you are willing to hit the coconut, and if the game is good, it can be a challenge of those that remain burned in your mind.
In today's top 10 we review some of the best puzzle, logic and puzzle games for Android. Some of them, true handcrafted gems from the world of mobile video games.

Square Enix launched a series of puzzles for Android under the “GO” label, with titles such as Hitman GO, Deus Ex GO and Lara Croft GO –the latter being the best rated of the 3-. All these games follow the same mechanics: move in turns on a board, as if it were a game of chess, preventing traps and enemies from killing us.
They are quite cheap games and offer a good few hours of fun. If you like this type of game, stay tuned to the post that we usually publish every Saturday with the free premium apps of the week, since Hitman GO often enjoys these types of promotions very often.

One of my favorite logic and puzzle games. In Infinity Loop we have a pattern that we must rotate to form a closed circuit. All puzzles are randomly generated, which means that we have an infinite number of levels.
It requires a good helping of analytical skills, but many times we can overcome levels simply by rotating the pieces of the circuit until we see the solution right under our noses. Easy to play and very addictive.

If you like Sudoku-type games, you have to try this 2048. It is a most entertaining puzzle in which we have to join adjacent numbers until we reach the magical figure of 2048. The first levels are easy, but as we progress through the Things can get quite complicated and leave your brain fried.
A very addictive game, great for exercising mental acuity and math. In addition, it barely weighs about 10MB. What more could you want? Free, and highly recommended.
