My first environmental puzzle was the simple river one from the top of the mountain. The game very heavily pointed at it with the panel nearby, I didn't realise it was supposed to be a big deal! Probs my fault for checking out the mountaintop too early >_>

I was watching a blind let's play of The Witness, and I was... apopleptic? No, no anger, but very animatedly waving at my screen and trying to point out the river to the guy playing as he enjoyed the view from the top of the mountain looking at the river for an obscene amount of time (probably only like two minutes though), even mentioning how the puzzle and river looked similar before he started talking about all the statues and what they were doing.

I don't rem... oh geez, that was Cracking the Cryptic blind playing! Oh, no wonder I was so animated! It's common to want to point out and badger Simon for missing the obvious next step in the sudoku and either going a completely roundabout super-complex way for arriving at the same conclusion minutes later or going twenty minutes deeper into the puzzle not recognizing a very simple naked single he made and confounded by the puzzle no longer opening up (then seeing it and finishing everything in like two minutes, :P)

I'm gonna be watch and hope no one spoiled him on environmental puzzles. I think his first were the shine puzzles in the desert.
