hey so The Witness is 15% off for the next 5 days and i coincidentally just beat it last night before i went to bed. today i beat the special challenge puzzle. i can honestly say that the witness is probably the best puzzle game i've ever played. i can't recommend it highly enough for people who love puzzles (but if you get impatient or frustrated easily this is probably not the game for you). nothing is ever directly explained to you; all the puzzles in the game (over 500) follow the same basic building blocks. you are looking at a variably-sized grid, trying to trace a line from the start to the finish. as you go through the game new 'rules' are added to puzzles, making things more difficult. the game doesn't outright tell you these rules; you are supposed to figure them out yourself through trial and error. when a new concept shows up, the game will throw some easy puzzles at you to help you figure out the rule for the upcoming area.
it's a fucking masterpiece, honestly.
