Classics: games like Lemmings

Lemmings is a classic puzzle video game developed by DMA Design and published by Psygnosis in 1991. The game's premise revolves around guiding a group of small creatures called "Lemmings" through a series of levels filled with obstacles. The catch is that the lemmings mindlessly walk in a straight line, regardless of the dangers ahead, and your job is to assign them tasks to help them survive and reach the exit.
Lemmings was highly successful and it spawned numerous sequels, spin-offs, and remakes over the years and inspired a whole genre of "save-them-all" style games.
