Description
You wake up, alone, on a strange island full of puzzles that will challenge and surprise you.

You don't remember who you are, and you don't remember how you got here, but there's one thing you can do: explore the island in hope of discovering clues, regaining your memory, and somehow finding your way home.

The Witness is a single-player game in an open world with dozens of locations to explore and over 500 puzzles. This game respects you as an intelligent player and it treats your time as precious. There's no filler; each of those puzzles brings its own new idea into the mix. So, this is a game full of ideas.

Not worth the asking price

Got this free from Xbox Games with Gold. It's an OK puzzle game, but pretty repetitive. Once you figure out the basic format of the puzzles, they are mainly quite similar (Drawing patterns of lines on a screen in a certain way). For a free game, it was worth the gameplay for a few hours - I did not complete the game but got to a stage where it just became boring. But for the 40 odd bucks they are charging here, it's a definite no from me.

Too Puzzley

Even after finding some of the tutorials, I just can't. It's too open world, and I have no idea how to progress. I'm just running (as long as I'm not turning) around like a chicken with its head cut off.

Masterpiece

It is like a Tarkovsky movie. Not for everyone but there will always be a fanatic fanbase.

Do you like questioning your existance?

One of the many great games by Obsidian. It's thought provoking, has an interesting range of characters, and a solid use of player agency to build your story. Nearly perfect.
