Epyo 08/31/22 5:44:28 PM #220:	Well then you probably didn't like THIS myst-like either! #7 The Witness https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/2/9/AABIPnAADn8N.jpg Humanity's had a fascination with mazes for a long time, and as a kid I was really into maze books. The problem is, mazes are kinda dumb! But The Witness finally found a way to make mazes actually good puzzles. I don't really have much to say about the Witness. It's here because of its ~600 really good little bite-sized logic puzzles, that use maze puzzle mechanics I found very unique and satisfying. If you have a good puzzle, your game rules. And if you have, say, 600, your game is an all-time classic. This does solve a different slight problem with Myst-like games: in those games, there is no consistent interface for puzzles, so you never quite know if you're looking at a puzzle, or what all the inputs are. Not a problem here: if there is a square panel, then there is a puzzle. Simple as that. It is the fairest point and click adventure ever. There's a secret optional gameplay mechanic (no spoilers), and it's one of my favorite game mechanics ever... But once again, I don't think the game even needed it! It's very cool and legendary though. Especially the fact that you might never find it! BEST LEVEL: "The Challenge", featuring In the Hall of the Mountain King. A clever climactic last boss. --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Castlevania superfan! Ask me anything! <cite>Epyo posted [p:967706618] in Epyo's Top...
