Vysions

God I want to like this game, but I just don't. As someone who's played a lot of puzzle games in a similar vein as this I appreciate the attempt at making a brutally difficult, thinking outside the box, version of one of these, but ultimately the game isn't a challenge, it's just poorly designed, and there isn't much logic to any of its solutions. Most of the time the game leads you to believe you have to do one thing, only for the solution to be something far different while hints and journals and aspects of the environment lead you on wild goose chases that cause you to waste hours wracking you brain over a puzzle that just isn't interesting enough to make it all worthwhile. The game's free, so there's that, but it really isn't worth the time investment and that sucks because with a more careful hand and tighter design this could've been something really special.

Mmmmm... no. There are basically three cardinal sins this game commits, and two of them are kinda tied together, so; let's get into it. First, the performance is just awful. If my system is happy running whatever AAA of the past decade you care to mention, it probably shouldn't be chugging with this games relatively simple mostly-untextured polys. The weird thing is the performance is inconsistent; it'll run fine, then framerates will drop dramatically for no apparent reason. Memory leak? Second, and this may just be personal preference, but; not particular fond of puzzles where the trick isn't in figuring out the puzzle, but in having the information to solve it spread in multiple locations and having no way to hold it. The volcano puzzle is a prime example; you see the colour you want, so then you turn round and run across the bridge until you can see the symbols opposite, try to memorise the ones you need, then run back into the volcano, spin the columns and... Urgh, none of these quite match, I guess I needed another of that colour, so you run back over the bridge... repeat 4 times. That's not gameplay, that's time-wasting. Finally, and this ties into that issue with the puzzles; the game front-loads it's most frustrating and obscure puzzles, getting strangely easier as you progress. This may be that the puzzles were created in the order they show up in the game, and the devs simply got better at making the goals and controls more understandable as they progressed. In this case, kudos to you, maybe needed to take a late second pass at the first puzzles you put in. As it is, the difficulty curve means that cryptic puzzle fans will enjoy the first map but find the rest of the game tame, and those who prefer cleaner experiences will turn off before they hit the second area. With that, and a few less important things (like the time I finished a puzzle, dashed onto the elevator... and then the elevator floated through my body and took off, leaving me stuck in the pit at the bottom of the shaft), I can't recommend this game.

Rüyalardan oluşan, bulmacaların gerçeğe dönüştüğü ve sizin bu çılgınlığa bir anlam katmanız gereken bir dünya olan Vysions'a hoş geldiniz. ohh yeeesss wişşşş

I don't really understand this game tbh but it seems like it could be okay if you know what you're doing. Could maybe benefit with a tutorial because a lot of the features aren't really apparent at all.

An esoteric but mostly fair game. I didn't encounter any bugs- things ran perfectly smooth for me. I did get frustrated at times however that was because there is some "moon logic" here unfortunately. The forums offer a lot of help if you get stuck. Ultimately I recommend this if you like puzzle games and aren't too proud to search for help when you inevitably get stuck.

the aesthetic caught my attention and its free so i downloaded it unfortunately its hardly playable at all (stopped at 4th puzzle) the first puzzle is a massive red flag for me already, the puzzle is more like a riddle where you just have to "get it" or you dont, and that's not even the main problem. the main problem is that when i read a walkthrough to see the solution it doesnt even make sense. In the community walkthrough it's briefly mentioned that the answer is [spoiler] to turn the panels so it's a bug facing the flower but it doesn't even look like a bug? where does the bug come from? how do we know its supposed to face the flower?[/spoiler] the only clues/interactables in the first area are 1) information for the second puzzle (massive red herring for 0 benefit) and 2) journals (flavour text) which basically don't clue the answer at all. usually when you put this type of puzzle in the intro it's a sign of whats to come, fortunately the second puzzle has some solvability to it (still little riddly but it's within bounds) and then boom third puzzle we're back to this nonsense where you just have to ram your head into a brick wall until you get it or don't. i find myself agreeing with the general sentiment that vysions did not live up to its potential despite having a great foundation to work off.

I've played the first two levels...but half the time, the game won't load. And I managed both levels by trial and error. I probably won't bother with the rest of the game. It takes minutes to load, when it actually runs.

Could be nice puzzle game, but the puzzles are very cryptic. Could be fun for someone who likes cryptic puzzles.
