well ofc there's sandbox games. But apart from those:

-games without fighting usually have no bosses. (example: Interactive Buddy, Dream Garden, etc.)

-most Puzzlers have no bosses either.

Actually, most puzzlers do have a "final puzzle" that usually includes the main antagonist being involved somehow. Example: Bowser - Tetris Attack, Crazy Guy - Myst 3.
I guess it depends on what puzzle games people play.

But unless your conflicting with the antagonist it's not really a boss, more like a final LEVEL (like you said) not BOSS.

example: you going through the antagonist's puzzle is NOT a boss. You solving puzzles to harm/weaken/destroy the antagonist IS a boss. The antagonist has to be on the short end of the stick at some point in order for it to be a "boss" IMO.

Well, if you count having a boss that never attacks you.

Gunships much? They're under Breen's command.

And yeah, going off-topic is more of an eventuality than a possibility.

What about Mario. Bowser is the main antagonist but you don't even meet or know he is behind everything until the very last level, and even then he is not very hard. Just jump over him and hit the lever for the bridge.

Stop Whining! xD

My examples DO conflict with the antagonist. Death/defeat is a result of failing the puzzle.

BTW I am aware that not all puzzle games have antagonists, just most of the puzzle games I've played do.

That's the beauty of a forum. The unpredictability is what makes it interesting.

Race car game series. Had some old ones for the PS1. Good times.

Either trolling or unwilling to google.

Pro-tip. Professing ignorance of readily-available information earns you no points around here.

yeah i have to agree with you there

I realise you can also see back into the chamber from inside the passage, so it may not have been a mistake, but I still find myself bothered by the huge black area of nothingness surrounding the scenery. It looks like something that wasn't meant to be seen.

Lamarr, lamarr... where did she get to?
