Zelda usually seems to find a satisfying puzzle balance:

Super Crazy Rhythm Castle & Scribblenauts Showdown are two of my favourites for co-op puzzle options:

Otherwise, I really enjoy what I've played of Professor Layton & Phoenix Wright, just need to find the time to play more of them:

I also second the Zero Escape saga, Sam & Max and just about every 90's-2000's LucasArts adventure game, as others have also brought up!

My favorite puzzle games are puzzle platformers. Oddworld and Portal especially.
 
Zero Escape series, specially 999, VLR is a bit rough in the difficulty and ZTD reaches a nice balance but the plot is oof. The hitman games are far as I am concerned puzzle games but that is a bit of a hot take for people. A different out there choice that scratches the itch I think is Prince of Persia Sands of Time. Warrior Within and 2 Thrones has better combat but combat matters there way more and it is emphasized. Think of it like playing Uncharted and Tomb Raider, not puzzles 24/7 but it has them.
 
Of course I like puzzle games like Tetris and Bust A Move but recently started playing adventure puzzle games like Professor Layton. It plays very good on an emulator with a mouse. I also play some casual phone puzzle games (Earn money from playing them). There are some interesting ideas in the casual game space.

Some other adventure puzzle games I played in the past were
