The Witness

This is an incredible game but I'm very happy I'll never have to solve some of those puzzles again.

The part of the game that never ends :)

What did folk make of the challenge area then? At first I thought it was a huge lol, turning what had been a leisurely no pressure pursuit into a frantic race against time, making you feel like a puppet on a string jerking frenetically around to the music, and like a prize chump for going along with it. Then I got frustrated and angry at how hard it was, then all of a sudden I got lucky and breezed it (plus I slightly unintentionally cheated and found out the clue to the maze room). I think it was a good idea but ultimately too reliant on luck, the pillars and not one but two 'pick one out of three' in particular tipping it over into fucking bastard territory.

Had the same experience of butting my head against it and then beating it out of nowhere. Think it's cool thing to have in there and introducing a random element, which the rest of the game is so dead set against is neat. The best puzzles in the game made me feel smart though and beating the challenge just made me glad I wouldn't have to keep trying.

This couldn't be ported to PS3? Doesn't seem too incredibly graphically intensive? Played a bit at a friend's, only did a few puzzles but was very enjoyable. I may actually re-download steam after five years when I decided my computer would only be for work related stuff (which really just meant I play rubbish flash games or android phone games) for this.

Can I recommend people have a look at this?
