Stephen's Sausage Roll is my favorite puzzle game. But more interestingly -- it's a near-universal opinion within puzzle communities that SSR is one of the all-time best. I've never heard of such a strong consensus in other subgenres of game. Unlike other consensus "bests", it's relatively unknown to the public (which is understandable for many reasons). It's very likely that if you're a puzzle game devotee, you will…

Some of my favorites are puzzle games but I guess I’m not a member of the "community" (is there a message board?) and I’m surprised to hear there's any consensus on anything- my experience has been that most puzzle fans have a very specific subgenre they enjoy rather than enjoying "puzzle games" as a whole. I've had such little luck finding new games I enjoy that I don't pay any attention to puzzle game recommendatio…

There is no consensus just like there is no single puzzle community. It’s just ‘what my favourite youtubers are talking about’

As a British person, this is confusing since the game doesn't involve a sausage roll!

The developer is also British; it's a pun because you roll sausages in the game.

Kula world was and always will be my favourite of these sort of games. Simple yet really challenging.

Kula World (known as 'Roll Away' across the pond and as Kula Quest in Japan) is fantastic; but it's not a Sokoban type of game, more of a platformer with spacial puzzles. For a Sokoban-type game with Kula World-esque 3D movement you could check out Kiki the Nanobot.
