I wish I could give you better directions but it's close to the castle area with the hedge mazes, if you've stumbled on that Yeah, I just found that area. I get some of the rules for them, apparently, but others are just beyond me.

Currently struggling my way through the tetris swamp myself. Mechanics spoiler (i think): The pieces can be arranged in any configuration within the area you are sectioning off, as long as the appropriate symbols are also in the sectioned area I think that's how it works, anyways e: helpful diagrams in this spoiler! there are at least two ways of solving this one, actually. I did the one on the right.

Look at the puzzle that moved the bridge -- see how the yellow squares line up with the yellow tiles on the ground? And see how, with your solution, you basically "drew" the bridge? See if you can solve it but with the bridge in a different position edit: also based on a review I read I think a reviewer deleted his save game and started over 8 hours into the game over being "stuck" here so you're not alone lol

This game is kicking my rear end. I got one area completed(ish), but now I'm stuck at several points in three different areas. Fuuuuuck it's so good though.

I've got five or six lasers activated after six hours of playing. Either the remaining lasers are really hard, or the 20 hour play time for minimum completion is way too generous. Since you only need seven lasers active, it seems like I would be close to the finish. (Still not even near 100% completion though. That might take double or even triple digit hours) The only "brute force" thing I did so far was the color elevator. I'm still not 100% on how it works, and it will probably come back to bite me in the rear end later.

Ugh. After spending over 3 hours banging my head against puzzles, I finish the tree-cut-out puzzles in the Japanese pagoda only for it to just give me a 3x5 grid with no outside indicator of how it works. At that point, my brain gave up. Except when I suddenly realized I now know how to beat one of the puzzles that involve you having to physically walk the path which is like halfway across the island. God dammit I need to rest my brain but here I am going back in. This game is great.

I could really do without these look in the mirror/find the glare/glorified pixel hunt for the right path panels underneath the sand dunes. It's way less puzzle solving and way more busy work. Of course the glare for the final panel right before the elevator up is juuuust out of reach of the glare no matter where you stand so it's in probably some dumb out of the way extremely specific spot you need to stand in and it's just ugghhh... I'm actually looking forward to the tetris swamp.

It makes me feel like I'm gonna hurl. In addition to the FOV thing that some have mentioned (which I can't change, since I'm on PS4), I think there's something weird about the turning/looking acceleration. It just feels all wrong, and maybe like vertical and horizontal movement aren't curved the same, which is always bad. Argh! I can play Descent for hours without discomfort, but The Witness is making me seasick.

I'm stuck on this second puzzle in the 'castle' area, it's the second one of these "step on the platforms to solve the puzzle" ones. This one has 4 white and 4 black squares to separate, and I can't figure it out.

This game is kicking my rear end. I guess I got 1 laser already. Then I did some other stuff that ultimately didn't lead to much. Whats the deal with the black pagoda/monolith statues? I did a puzzle with the sun glare near this desert looking area and it activated something on that thing but I have no idea.

Black Monoliths: indicate the relative direction of perspective puzzles (i.e. non-framed puzzles involving aligning landscape items). Once you do one puzzle linked to a monolith it will display the direction, completion status and shape of the other puzzles assigned to it. I don't know yet if completing perspective puzzles actually unlocks anything! puzzle puzzle puzzle

This one has 4 white and 4 black squares to separate, and I can't figure it out. Dammit, attempting to find a screenshot of that puzzle ended up spoiling the fact that you can use maze puzzles writ large in the environment, like the hedge mazes themselves, if you look at it from the right angle. I'd even seen one of them (the one written in black stone outside of the village), but didn't think to click the thing. Ruined that moment of discovery for myself. Ah well. Anyway, the trick with your puzzle is You don't have to divide it cleanly into one white and one black area. As long as black and white aren't in the same region, you're good. Click this for the answer.

At the risk of it being a cliche already, Myst was worth full price when it came out, too. If nothing else, you're paying for the ability to enter the game *before* everything's been spoiled and posted everywhere. I kind of like the feeling of not having a safety net of "google it" when I get stuck. Even if I did wreck one bit of magic when trying to find a screenshot of something I knew I'd already done. Whoops.

It's gorgeous, the sound is great, and the atmosphere is excellent. The puzzles seem well thought out, creative and difficult. The problem is that it was $40 and there is no fun game play. It's like a phone puzzle game with a beautiful 3d interface. There is this huge mysterious and complex island that you want to explore, but the 90% of the game is staring at signs drawing lines. It's a 2d puzzler in a 3d world. The 1 and 1/2 hours I played had 0 interaction with the world other than through the sign puzzles. I much prefer a puzzle game like portal which has you interact with the world and solve the puzzles through physics and movement. I don't want to be a hater, and obviously the game has way more to offer than I saw, but compared to puzzle games like anti-chamber and portal, this game felt like a chore.

how me a frog posted:Yeah that's what I was afraid of. What's it a metaphor for this time? The marble puzzle is the final puzzle in Riven, which is notoriously difficult. The epiphany he's talking about is when he managed to solve it. Neither of these have anything to do with The Witness or Jonathan Blow and you're really straining to find something to be pissed about. This game's pretty rad so far.

I'm stuck just a couple puzzles past that one  It helps to think of the Tetris blocks as just indicating one combined territory. The icon for each block can be anywhere in that territory. They don't have anything to do with the position of individual blocks. Psiharis fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Jan 27, 2016 |
