The Witness

Ótima direção de arte! Gostei bastante mesmo não jogando tantos jogos de puzzle antes.

Fantastic game that has consumed my husband and I. We've been working together to solve clues and explore this island, and I'm both excited and sad it will end. But we've still got over 400 puzzles to go till then!

My brain hurts like it's been lifting weights, 5/5 experience.

好的游戏不需要精心设计正反馈

玩法很新颖，还是有点烧脑的

Its cool dont understand the hate

trzeba myśleć

No entendí nada. Que se repita. El juego es de puzzles en una isla y pues los resuelves. No hay un orden específico ni un lore tal cual. Como no manejo el inglés pues todas esas cosas raritas de los audios me los perdí sin falta :u. (por eso digo, no entendí nada JAJAJA)

I tried to 100% without looking up solutions but had to look up like 5 ||enviromental puzzles|| and the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ship puzzle. It's also really really boring most of the time but I still enjoyed this game and most of the puzzles.

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.
