Hitman has those puzzle mechanics. Hitman levels are kinda open-wordish, you are free to explore the map layout and the NPC behaviors. But those NPCs always follows the same paths, the same actions, so the player can learn those patterns and create their own solution to that puzzle. Some puzzles will have only one solution (which makes a bad Hitman level I think) but some puzzles have dozens of alternative steps you can take to pass the level. First Hitman games are very odd, with a mix of different mechanics, since the devs didn't know what exactly what a Hitman level should play like... so which level could be considered the first real "Hitman level" considering the standards I've mentioned?
