A very original puzzle game from J. Blow that will keep you occupied for quite a while, especially if you avoid all spoilers about it, and its themes will resonate with you long after having finished it. The Witness stores quite a few surprises for the player who explores its world. It does a lot with the variations on its puzzles and the additional content it offers. I am still discovering new stuff that I haven't noticed on my playthrough, and I am very impressed by the design choices and the thought that went into some of the puzzles and area design. There are a few puzzles that I found frustrating and more than annoying to solve, but the overall experience made up for them in spades -- also thankfully the most annoying one was optional. I'm rating this 5/5 because I still believe it was the best game (and most refreshing) I've played in 2016.
While mostly focusing on Adventure game elements, the QFTG series allows you to customize your player, advance his skils and choose different paths to solve puzzles and reach the endings. It is also quite non-linear with regards to how you can proceed with the story and the player can take his time to practice his skills, choose the next quests to pursue and explore the world by day and by night. I like the first game the most, which is also the most original and pioneering game of the series, and it's great that GOG offers its original version with the free-to-type-in commands. Definitely worths its money.
