The Witness

Un jeu sur un monde rempli de puzzle et de mécanique différente qui m'a déçu. Il n'y a pas d'aide sur les puzzles il faut apprendre à chaque réussite mais à chaque fois qu'on se trompe il est très dure de comprendre son erreur et même les résolutions ne sont pas forcement les plus satisfaisantes. Certain puzzle sont logique d'autre demande une réflexion qui ne peuvent nous parvenir. En plus de cela les graphismes ,qui au premier abord sont beau, font au bout de quelque minute un mal de tête (le seul jeu sur lequel j'ai eu ça). Le manque de réussite couplé au manque de musique nous donne un sentiment de frustration, de solitude qui ne donne pas une âme au jeu et un intérêt . Pour finir , je n'ai pas compris le but de tout ces puzzles , pourquoi le faisions nous ? Le monde à l'air de raconter quelque chose que je n'ai pas compris. Je ne recommande le jeu que aux amoureux de puzzle

Thank you, Jonathan.

The Witness has charming visuals and most of the puzzles are well designed, IF the player knows all the puzzle mechanics already. That's where the caveats begin. If you play without sound or are deaf, you cannot understand some puzzles. I found the (sometimes hidden) audio logs to be disappointingly unrelated to the game. There are timed sections. There are sections which make you repeat a puzzle you've already done correctly each time you fail a new puzzle. There is a section which includes both of these at once. The developer decided to switch from making the puzzles "difficult to figure out" to "painful and/or physically sickening to look at" as a difficulty spike near the end of the game. If the map was accessible all of the time, instead of occasionally and there was a warning not to spend time trying to solve puzzles unless you've seen introductory puzzles for the related mechanics, that would have been enough to make this a positive review. Spreading the introductions to mechanics around the map without pushing the player to find and learn them before doing puzzles was an awful choice.

The reveal at the ending was awe inspiring.

Elegant and personally lots of fun

4.7★ You are The Witness in this amazing puzzle game. Play it. Now.

The base game itself is great, has a pretty art direction, a solid leveldesign and original puzzles that get deeper and deeper as u discover them. But what makes the witness really different is the moment u realise that when u finish the game, u aren't even halfway done. Fantastic game

Guy who has only played The Looker, playing this game: Getting a lot of "The Looker" vibes from this...
