Yeah...the reason I didn't like it really is because it felt like a puzzle game about learning rules. Once you learned the rules, the game itself was over and then you moved on. Contrasted with something like Picross, where the rules are known and simple, and it's a structure for repeatable actions and designed. I appreciate that there can be joy in learning rules like that but to me it felt like playing 15 different dark souls tutorial zones at once without a game behind it.

This is insightful and valid criticism. But I still love the Witness.. can't help it

I do like that the game has a FMV of that scene in nostalghia where that guy carries a candle back and forth across an empty pool for 20 minutes to own everyone who found it

Solaris is next up I know that scene comes from nhostalgia(spelling) but are there any you think I should peep before the otheres. Thank you

also i was unable to play more than like 20 minutes of the witness at a time because the isladn would only load chunks that were nearby on start and you cant walk on unloaded terrain so if i strayed too far from wherever i started id be stopped dead by the void

Stalker is a beautiful film. I'd gush and type lots of words abotu it in here if it was a puzzle game  which to be clear it is not -- although it will leave you thonking...

The greenhouse was easy but I found the small one in the town first which imo was much easier to see what was going on, provided you know Logic.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:The rules compose in interesting ways that make you figure out cool new stuff. Knowing the rules did not suffice on many of the puzzles, you had to apply them hardcore. It's cool if you don't like it though - if I didn't like a game after 2 hours I'd stop, as well. yeah, i don't think that's a particularly fair criticism. maybe half the puzzles were 'learn these rules'; the other half were 'ok, solve a tough problem with these constraints you've already discovered'. (the north part of the island tended more toward this than the south, i think.) but if you didn't like it, well... as they say in Paris, "say la vee".

Its probably because I bounced around a lot in that period. I think I only solved like 2 lasers.

Witness: Okay, I gave up and got a walkthrough for the bamboo audio puzzles. I'm tone deaf, that was obnoxious, and just...screw it. There are better puzzles awaiting me.  One more complaint: the audio clues/solutions repeat either way too frequently or infrequently so for at least one puzzle I was sitting there waiting for it to play again so I could try to guess at a solution, and just. Include a toggle so I can make it play or not! Don't waste my time even more with this bs set of puzzles! StrixNebulosa fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Mar 15, 2017 |

Been playing Beglitched and it's really fun... it's kinda hard to explain but basically the main mechanic is a mix of minesweeper and a match 3 game. you do battle with enemies who are invisible and hiding on your grid and you have to suss out their location using tiles that give you their relative distance & direction and then match bomb tiles to blow them up. Outside of combat you move around a map that's sort of like minesweeper and find items and talk to NPCs and buy stuff and avoid traps. Really interesting mash-up of mechanics and the difficulty ramps up very quickly and more and more twists on the gameplay keep piling up. It's on Steam and iOS

u got mares in yr house posted:I finished The Witness and Talos Principle. What should I play next? Stephen's Sausage Roll. It's still on sale here for ten bucks for another few hours. (It's destroying my brain, come suffer with me - the puzzles are so clever and I feel like a queen when I finish even one.) e: I want to add that I have seen the Great Tower and I'm not ready for it. I will never be ready for it. StrixNebulosa fucked around with this message at 11:04 on May 16, 2017 |
