The Pillar

This one of the rare games where I was glad it was over. It was one tedious task after the other with this game. I can't say I enjoyed the experience. I can glance over the obvious "homage" to a certain game but my main gripe is with the mechanics. They are there but the difficulty of the panel puzzles is all over the place. The line drawing is never really built upon and all the other things in the levels felt disconnected. I never gained an intuitive sense of what I was doing in these levels. And the panels were more work than puzzles. The final maze was nothing but arbitrary difficulty and made me feel miserable: This was simply bad game design. Nonetheless I hope the devs continue to make games but make something better with deeper mechanics next.

In the likeness of Witness (obviously) but much more relaxed and easier. Overall it's worth it at about roughly $5 on sale if you want a chill easy puzzle game. A few notes that would make it play better: - remove all the cutaways where the camera pans they are annoying and unnecessary - right-click should exit the puzzles - there should be a button to clear the puzzle for easy start over - remove the background music in favor of ambiance - mosaics should fit into the game better instead of being optional collectible

Pillar is worth a few hours of your time, solving 4 or 5 types of grid puzzles. There's some exploration and larger puzzles to figure out, which flush the game out a bit more. The visuals are excellent and the music is fine. Most of the grid-type puzzles are fun, but there's one which is pattern memorization and re-tracing. Had to use my phone and record video for over a dozen of them. Meh. I'll recommend the game, but it's nothing I'm going to replay and finish achievements on.

Great game, except for the end. The blinking maze is absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and ruins the entire experience.

The Pillar é um jogo bem ok, claramente inspirado em The Witness. Tem alguns puzzles legais, mas no geral eles são simples e repetitivos, mesmo o jogo sendo bem curto. É divertido até, mas fica chato se jogar por muito tempo seguido. Os gráficos são bonitos pelo menos, já a trilha sonora é tão insignificante que eu até mutei, o game design é bem ruim e não tem uma narrativa, são apenas coisas sem sentido acontecendo. Cada puzzle resolvido ativa uma cutscene de uns 2 segundos pra mostrar o que mudou, e isso irrita muito, além de ter puzzles que você demora pra entender o que fazer, não por serem difíceis, mas porque são mal feitos. No geral é um jogo ruim mesmo, nem para quem curte MUITO jogos de puzzle eu recomendaria esse jogo, mesmo eu tendo me divertido minimamente, tem muita coisa melhor por ai.

The Witness 비슷할 것 같아서 했는데 내가 생각했던게 아니긴 해

Mám rád logické hry a velmi jsem si oblíbil Myst a The Witness. Přesto jsem přistupoval k The Pillar s otevřenou myslí a laťku jsem očekával nízko. Začátek hry je slibný a hraje se příjemně. Puzzly jsou jednoduché. Hledání nápověd a sbírání obrázků v pěkném prostředí baví. Záhy jsem bohužel zjistil, že puzzly nenabírají na obtížnosti. I ke konci hry tak narážíte na puzzly primitivnější než ty co jste řešili v půlce hry. Jeden typ hádanky spočívá v rychle projíždějících "hadech" kde má hráč zopakovat jejich trasu. Myslím si, že logická hádanka nemá být postavena na postřehu a do hry se nehodí. Zrůdnost v podobě střílení lehce barevně odlišných fleků v hvězdokupě jiných fleků je pak nápad roku. Finální labyrint ve tmě je přítomen zřejmě jen kvůli natažení herní doby. Hru jsem hrál na PC, kde samozřejmě vedle konkurence neobstojí. Byla myšlena na telefony a tak ji budu i hodnotit. Vím, že dobrá hra na mobilních telefonech neexistuje, toto je ale podprůměr. Vše bych vývojářům byl ochoten odpustit, i vysokou cenovku, kdyby věnovali více času hernímu designu a hlavně vynechali ty rychlejedoucí hady. 4/10 Neberme to příliš vážně a přejme hodně zdaru do budoucna.
