настоящее испытание

базовая идея игры - догадайся до всего сам, безо всяких подсказок. как правильно отметили рецензенты, игровых наград за решение невероятного числа головоломок не будет, наградой служит чистый дофамин, полученный за череду озарений, догадок, открытий. головоломки кажутся однообразными, но большинство из них потребует индивидуального подхода. решить можно всё, но потребуются логика, внимание и очень много терпения. игра совершенно нединамичная, требующая много времени на поиски головоломок и их решений, даже просто на перемещение. но к этому со временем привыкаешь. главное - не сорваться в подсказки, иначе вместо радости открытий будет копиться лишь досада на свою лень и недогадливость. вся философия, щедро насованная в игру, к сожалению никуда не ведёт. концовка ничего не объясняет. но возможно я слишком глуп. потратил в игре 54 часа. большую часть времени просидел в недоумении, но решил всё что сумел найти, а нашёл я далеко не всё, и дошёл до конца без подсказок. изрисовал несколько листов бумаги, вырезал фигурки тетрамино, не обошлось без пары маленьких брутфорсиков. суровая, но очень крутая игра. если вы любите головоломки, то есть буквально готовы ломать голову, попробуйте.

Its okay in small doses

Many of the puzzles are fun while many other are obtuse. Good for a short distraction. Unless you are a big puzzler, you will get frustrated.

Disrespect towards Minimalism

Got a few things to say but not so related to one another, so I use bullet points. Hope it's readable. -First off, a beautiful island with great art style. But that's probably the best feeling I have after beating the game, which I was forced to due to sunken costs. -The main part of the game is based on line puzzle that are governed by a set of rules, with no written or visualized guidance. It's a good thing, I like the feeling of gaining knowledge myself. There are a couple of 'tutorial puzzles' that are well-written. -One major flaw of this game is, as I said in the title, doesn't know how to pick your best puzzles and present them. Imagine how the devs of Portal or BABA Is You when they create the levels: they might think of hundreds of different levels that exploit their game mechanics, but they only put the most well-crafted and creative ones in it, for the coherence of the story/theme of the chapter, or to avoid the feel of tedious when playing it. Clearly not what the Witness is capable of doing. -Some puzzles are too easy. In fact, most of the puzzles that I feel slightly creative are still too easy. But I won't go too hard on this because this is fundamentally restricted due to the nature of 'draw a line' puzzles. -Not really a criticism, but this game lacks soundtrack, any sense of humor, and an actual story. I'm not saying it's bad to not include these things, it's a choice for sure. But on the same time i can definitely picture what the game could become if it has those, and I would say the experience could potentially be better in overall -As to my last point, I believe I will rate this game higher considering it's historical factor: it's released 10 years ago, and right now I can easily find examples that exceed the Witness -Final complaint: I hate the Town. Since I figured out some rules there before going to the right locations where the mechanisms are introduced, it kind of drained out the 'aha' moment of them.

Puzzle-vania

Taken from my review on: https://detachmentinreviewform.wordpress.com/2016/02/26/the-witness-review/ This is a great big puzzle game and I'm going to call it right now, one of the best games of 2016. If you liked Fract OSC then you'll love The Witness. You only interact with the world through line puzzles but they introduce new rulesets and mechanics at a pretty rapid pace to keep you on your toes. There are tutorial areas spread over the island and hidden things to find everywhere, and something I really like is that everything that happens to/on the island is directly caused by you. In a way, it can be described as a "Metroidvania" where instead of requiring items to get through an area, it requires knowledge of a certain mechanic. The progression is nice and open-ended, the difficulty curve is 95% perfect and every bit of dialogue in the game is optional (thankfully). In fact, there's no music either, just ambient sound and the sounds your puzzle-solving create, making it very relaxing to play. You can get to the "ending" roughly halfway through finishing the main areas but beating all of them without doing any exploring will take at the minimum 10 hours, and that's if you're a puzzle whiz. There's more than enough content to justify the price here. On the other (much smaller) hand, the (optional) audio logs you'll come across are often the exact kind of pseudo-philosophy that plagues many other modern puzzle games (several of them from a religious perspective, which is funny considering how intelligent they want these audio logs to sound). It's great that they're optional though, because maybe - just maybe - someone looking for a nice brain teaser isn't going to conflate line puzzles with the meaning of life and the universe. Overall, if anything about this game sounds interesting to you then get it.
