eiii: Thanks for your long answer! I definitely remember the first DROD games, they look quite good and even have a Linux version. I already was about to buy them, but then there obviously came other priorities. ;) And I already have Spacechem, sadly not yet played. Have to raise it on the to-play list. :) But both games got into my focus more as an RPG resp. strategy game, not so much as puzzle games. Good to know I can train my puzzle skills there too. :) Your other recommendations I have to look up. They are probably more "real" puzzle games, which I have mostly ignored so far.
DROD is in fact a pure puzzle game (except for the DROD RPG) even if it might look like an RPG or a TBS game on first glance.

CarrionCrow: On the subject of puzzles, here's something that might be of interest - http://fools-errand.com/
First heard about the game Fool's Errand years ago. But now, the creator of the game has not only that but two other games he created on his site for free and legal download, along with free emulation software to run them.
I played those, and they provided me with more than enough confidence in him to place a pre-order for his most recently released game.

That pre-order was placed in 2005.

He released it in 2012.

I was not disappointed.

So yeah, go play 'em if you haven't.

PaterAlf: Not sure if you can still get it DRM-free at the Humble Store.

Grargar: You can. It also comes with the Android port.
Hey Gragar, check your incomings! :-)

Damn....
I see what you mean. I played it years and years ago, got my ass handed to me as handily as it possibly can be when you're playing a puzzle game, have a memory with Swiss cheese-levels of holes in it, and I still remember it.
I say thank you for the ringing endorsement while my wallet spits at me for telling it I'll have to cleave another 40 from its recesses some time in the near future.

Stilton: There's a great free puzzler called Stealth Bastard, Tactical Espionage Arsehole or the form of the later Stealth Bastard Deluxe.

PaterAlf: The commercial version Stealth Bastard Deluxe...

Grargar: You can. It also comes with the Android port.
Oh man, I saw some playgame videos and I can say that game is dope.
Hope to see it soon on gog, until then you can vote for it here:

Saw the video of that at the Humble Store. Based on that, just voted with zero hesitation.

Additional - Smugglers V is up. 2.49, 75 percent off. Spelunky to follow.

Stilton: Hope its not too much of a puzzle working out which ones to try ;-)
Indeed, I just wanted a few to start with! :P

But that's the risk to ask here, with all the helpful people. :)

I can vouch for Stealth Bastard as well. I played both the original freeware version and the Deluxe version and enjoyed both immensely!. The deluxe version comes with an level editor as well (i.e. there are tons of community levels).

Start with a few, end up with a few dozen (or hundred). That's the GOG way. ;)

In fairness, The Fool's Errand was RIDICULOUSLY hard at times. Careful notes are pretty much mandatory if you want to complete the overarching map puzzle.

At the Carnival/Puzzle Gallery is the easiest of his old games; 3 in Three is sort of in the middle. The Fool and his Money, the new game, is probably somewhere between The Fool's Errand and 3 in Three.

I can also recommend the games by Everett Kaser - other than the MESH series, all of his games are pure puzzlers, and there are A LOT of them. I'm one of his beta testers and translators, so I suppose I'm somewhat biased (because he's a friend, and I want to see him do well enough to keep making games... :) ), but I've honestly never been disappointed by his games. Those games I've been playing since 2004... and I'm not even close to being done :) All of his games have demos, and there's a large discount if you buy all of them in a bundle.

GOG should run the world. Simple.

Looking at my backlog that's probably true.
