Puzzles involving pushing blocks around a grid, where most of the challenge comes from the constrained motion. Blocks might get stuck if you push them into a corner, for example. It might be necessary to move things in a certain order, which isn't obvious at first.

"Sokoban" translates to "warehouse keeper". The original game was about moving boxes around in a crowded warehouse.

Complaining that games may be described as "like Sokoban" is kind of like complaining that they might be described as "real-time strategy".
