I Got 300 something puzzles on my own and now I don't even care, I just want to be done with the game so I don't have to ever touch it again.Īntichamber still the best first-person puzzle game by a mile.Įdit: And now I just got to the puzzle inside the mountain with the timer that resets the unfinished puzzle. I guess I shouldn't be too upset because I got inside the mountain doing things I was enjoying and I guess everything beyond that is optional but fuck if it isn't a bummer that the puzzle design is so all over the place. Everything I did after I got to the mountain and came out was the worst shit. I had a really great run at the start of the game and was really enjoying it for the first 10h, couldn't wait till I got from work to do some more puzzling but then I got to the mountain, the stuff inside (where I took a break out of frustration and came outside again), finished the jungle (had A LOT of trouble with the tones, not a musical person, had to look things up), did some perspective puzzles (fucking hate those, so finicky). Hearing there's an hour long video I would need to sit through is making me hate this game even more. Also I hate the pretentious larger than life philosphy shit this game has, should've been prepared for it more I guess but fuck listening to 8 minutes of some quote from an astronaut that's being read by some woman who's sounding like she's trying way too hard to be inspiring. First one I unlocked was the 6th with the lady speaking about whatever and I couldn't even stand watching that because her mic was picking up every breath and smack of her lips. I'm just ranting my frustration but I'm curious whether other people honestly enjoyed this kind of thing? The only defense I saw on Reddit was along the lines of 'Hey, it makes the puzzles different!' (which again I go back to that Uncharted example, in that case would a new different enemy like that be good?)

It should come from not knowing the rules or not knowing how to apply them. Challenge shouldn't come from readability. It's like if Tetris on high difficulties blacked out half the screen to increase the challenge. Because the solution isn't complicated and the rules aren't complicated, but Blow tries to make reading the puzzles complicated. I noticed this trend first in the tropical area where the last puzzle lays the sound clips on top of each other so you can't easily read the puzzle which is bad design.

I want to love the game and in many ways I do (the world, the art, the message, the good puzzles, the secrets) but the majority of my playthrough was feeling miserable and fatigued from no-brainer, trial-and-error puzzles that became only worse at the end by intentionally being annoying in order to increase difficulty. It would be like if Uncharted had an enemy you have to shoot at for 30 minutes with little threat: Sure, it's not difficult but do you have the focus and patience to do it again and again? It highlights everything I dislike about the game: Blow testing the player's resolve rather than intellect. I'm curious if it's just me who had such a strong reaction to the puzzles in the mountain (strobe light effects, spinning, obfuscated panels, etc.)? Disliked it at first, then loved it and after getting to the final mountain area I strongly dislike it again and decided to never play it again (watched video of ending no regrets on that). The Witness for me has been a rollercoaster of feelings.
