The Witness

This isn't a puzzle game

The puzzles aren't that great, but there are some really good ones. Overall they are easy. People that don't really like puzzles that much will still enjoy this game because the puzzles shouldn't frustrate you, and there is a generous learning curve for every single mechanic. But if you do not like exploration, and I mean DEEP exploration, then do not play this game. I love Myst, but this game goes too far in terms of the amount of aimless exploring you need to do at a certain point in the game. I will be honest - I have not beaten this game fully, but that is because I don't want to spend my entire day walking around the island looking for... well I won't tell you because it would spoil the "fun" for those that find it fun. I'd rather go solve puzzles in some other game, because that's what I enjoy - puzzle solving. If you like to go on long nature walks and just marvel at how beautiful nature is, and you have a good enough computer to make this game look pretty, then get this game 100%. If you just like solving challenging puzzles - are a fan of the Myst franchise, then stay away... stay far away.
