You need to have the foresight to have bought them


Your attention span is why Sam has to remind you that you're in a mining zone or the temperature changed.

You're not even trying to make an excuse for it anymore. It has nothing to do with attention span. It's a lame puzzle sprinkled through the game to waste your time. Either by making sure you bought enough keys from specific stores or by taking the time to do a random puzzle found in a newspaper.

It's there to be a hindrance. It's there to be filler. Nobody will care that they're gone in the next game. Nobody will look back fondly on Andromeda because of Remnant puzzles. The most positive thing said about them is "they're not a big deal because you can spend game money to skip them"

They're a dated concept that have no reason to be in video games like this anymore. No one is playing Mass Effect to solve Sudoku puzzles to save planets. Which is literally what the game asks you to do. So why is it there? What makes it good game design?
