The Witness

90% really good puzzles, 10% ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. But the cleverness of how these are introduced and build up is incredible. Also I like how the story and philosophy are introduce sparsely thought out the game.

play this game for 3 hours, and once you feel you're at the peak of your fun, just delete it. you will spend the entire game trying to recapture the feelings you felt in those first three hours, but your experience will suddenly begin to slide downhill, and then continue downhill, because the puzzles will only become increasingly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. don't mind my playtime. the only reason i played this game for as long as i did was to spite Jonathan Blow and his stupid pretentious puzzle games the looker, a parody of the witness, is unironically a better puzzle game, and ACTUALLY "treats your time as precious."

The Witness felt like a really good book that you've spent a lot of time with and after finishing it, you feel a bit sad that it's over because it touched you deeply. I definitely want to play it at least one more time when I get better graphics hardware because the world is just so beautifully crafted. Although the most important part would be not the one that you can see...

Les puzzles sont difficiles, mais après tout pourquoi pas. Parfois les solutions sont tirées par les cheveux... mais après tout pourquoi pas. Au moins, ça occupe, ça fait travailler le cerveau. Le problème de ce jeu vidéo c'est qu'il pourrait tout à fait ne pas être un jeu vidéo. Histoire inexistante ou presque, pas de musique, presque pas de sons d'ambiance, une direction artistique intéressante au premier abord mais qui tourne finalement fade... Il n'y a que quelques puzzles qui utilisent vraiment les possibilités qu'offrent le JV. Le gameplay n'est au service de rien. Et rien ne sert le gameplay. Dommage.

Very interesting game with a lot of cool puzzles. Too full of itself all of the time (I'm including the long times to do ANYTHING in this as well), but well-worth it. Do play the excellent (free) parody game the looker as well, really enhances both gameplay experiences to play the both!

Look I’m not a smart guy and I was able to get about 95% of the puzzles in this game. I would recommend this to everyone. I would also say if you get stuck for a long time and you haven’t made progress in hours. Look up a hint. There were a few puzzles that I would have never solved anyways. Good game though.

Such a fantastic game. No hand holding, constant progresson and intelligent design, exploration and hidden secrets. Could not rave about it enough. One specific section made me almost go insane but I'm happy to be past it and still with so much of the world left to explore and complete. Don't want the journey to end but stoked I found this game and got to enjoy the experience. Go in completely blind and don't look up spoilers. Stretch your mind and experience everything as it's designed.
