First time player. 100 +1 Pretty sure the +1 means I did something to Spoiler a black pillar because when I did it it was fantastic and I yelled in the middle of the night. Im actually under some ruins in the desert stuck on a water based puzzle (I know how to solve it but I cant find the right angle for the life of me). Incredible game.
Hehe. Just keep an eye out, and there'll be a fair bit more yelling! Funnily enough, the desert ruin is actually one of my least favourite areas. Still cool, but there's one room in particular Spoiler where you control the water level that has a LOT of looking around.
It says the game makes you feel like a genius, it makes me feel rather stupid he he, but its one of the most intriguing games I ever played so I keep at it. The + after the puzzles mean the environmental puzzles right, got no one of those yet, think they are the hardest.
It'll become clearer the more time you spend with the game. If there's ever stuff in this thread that you're not familiar with, chances are it's an aspect of the game that's better found than explained! Edit: This is a game *designed* around discovery. You will be finding new and exciting things, ten, or even twenty, thirty hours into the game. It can be tempting to ask questions to people who know the answers, but as someone who did complete the game with some spoilers and now regrets every aspect, mechanic, puzzle, puzzle+ etc. that they looked up, have a bit of faith that the game is *that* much more rewarding with time spent in the dark!
With a bit of scepticsim i went and bought it... WOW. What an experience ! Feels refreshing, unique and soooo much fun ! Gotta love how they take something as dumbed down and stupid as a lane maze and add a plethora of layers of complexity to it, love how it makes you interact with the environment.... Ive been playing for 3 hours straight and had to put it down but now all I want to do is pick it back up... cant wait to play more tonight. Big surprise for me, im enjoying this A LOT. If you like puzzle games you have to try this one !
Not looking for hints, just stats clarification. If that clarification is a hint in itself, then, understood. #
Dont worry its just me talking to much, just take it slowly and everything will fall into place, I was rushing through the game and you shouldnt do that, I started over and enjoying it much more now, I am looking everywhere now. Just got my first emvironmental puzzle great, first +.
Thank you. Yes, i generally do not look at walkthrough if i am not really stuck. I just checked this one as trailer to understqnd how the game looks like
I'm so totally obsessed with this beautiful game. My current puzzle count is 101+1 and I'm already convinced this is one of the best games I've ever played. Note: I'm an old gamer from when the earth was young, so the astronomical number of games under my belt is both impressive and kind of ridiculous. While I've never been a fan boy of any particular software developer, I feel sudden emotions for Jonathan Blow. The Witness should easily take all GOY awards for the puzzle category, and no doubt will pull in many others. I write this post mainly as a way of forcing a badly needed break from the game. There are patterns under my eyelids and glowing cables in my spaghetti.
181 + 2 Im super obsessed. Had a tour of the island (wink wink), both gorgeous and amazing. The puzzles are even getting better and better and a grand scheme is emerging. Absolutely amazing, the dev is a genius.
Thanks for taking a break to provide your comments! I've been so torn on if I need another game as I have so many blacklog including some likely pretty long games such as: Layton Ace Attorney (3 not all 4 games) Ticket to Earth And many others... I'm also having our first child sometime over the next month... As an old school gamer from the days of Pong I am intrigued by this game and now believe it'll be worth getting!
372 +38, so I'm clearly beyond obsession at this point. I've been gaming since frogger on a TRS-80 (games used to come on cassette tapes, young ones), and this really might be my favorite ever. Clearly owes a ton to Myst as well as other puzzle games, but the progression of puzzles and learning throughout the game only gets more impressive as I go. And the atmospheric and philosophical touches are the perfect compliment to this contemplative masterpiece. Bravo. I'm so glad I waited until the iOS version. I use an MFi controller for navigation (sooooo nice), but I can't imagine completing the puzzles with anything other than touch.
I played the heck out of this on PC, so doubt I'll be repurchasing. But wow -- envious of you who are experiencing this for the first time. Game is insanely good!
