Only audio problem I've had at all so far was in the theater. If I moved while the video/audio was playing it stutters.


Some of these puzzles are a pain in the ass. haha. I can only get the 1 of 3 on the windmill. Got the sewer pipe one and the extended version once I realized you can do them while the boat was moving. Still working on that one on the wall near that one. Almost had it.. Just have to get the boat to the right spot I think.

So, I've managed to solve 212 puzzles until now.
Have to say they range from purely ingenious to plain annoying.
There are a couple where I know exactly what it wants me to do - I just dont want to do it, too much work.
I also have problems with the acoustic puzzles starting after the one with the wolf howling. I just can't translate the noises to a pattern, it makes no sense.
Also stuck at the third garden maze, but I still hope I'm gonna figure that out by myself (a little hint would be nice though)

So regarding the lasers, I have 3 lasers pointing to the mountain, and one from the sand area pointing somewhere random off the island.

I guess I need to do something for that one to point to the top too?

Oh also the Tetris shape stuff is driving me insane.

Some of the puzzles would drive mad even the Dalai Lama xD. I've unlocked five lasers so far, but I've left behind some incomprehensible business that I couldn't even (I will get there eventually, I'm absolutely not going to read tips..I must suffer Very Happy).

In general there is some seriously good stuff in the game, especially the puzzles that actively use the environments and lighting/shadows. There is also a lot of inevitable filler and repetitive material, but it's a game that follows the quantity over quality dogma, so that was to be expected. The whole thing is very very veryaddictive, and after a slow start that didn't impress me, one begins to understand that there's brilliance in the design.

What I find disappointing is the fact that audiologs are almost rambling-like and there's no narrative whatsoever, I believe a metaphysical background like in The Talos Principle for example would have made the game even more interesting.

Yes, just look at the trajectory of the beam..and you'll notice that you can do something about it. Not gonna say more!

Piracy is hardly a thing anymore.

I don't own the game yet but I probably will wait for it to drop to 20euro insterad of current 40. That's a bit much for walking simulator puzzle game (althoug I hear its amazing so probably worth it)

Besides... Piracy? MOst people here have not downloaded a pirated game in years Laughing I certainly didn't for past 2 years but now witness got me interested Laughing And I would certainly download Tomb Raider if it wasnt denuvo...

Anyway. One pirated copy is not one lost sale. Pirates don't have money for those games... thats why they pirate them...

Yes. It said "Denuvo".

Sorry,I will have to disagree on this one.

What we are seeing is increasing of grey market,No one here buying from steam unless it's cheap in some countries...

Even before Denuvo,lot of people bought games at good prices,I personally have ~300 legal steam games in my account(around half storedin my inventory)


I bought most of Batman series,the last one is still best legal version,but didn't bought it because of massive problems,not because I couldn't pirate it.

similar thing happened with Dragon age,I bought the first,the second I didn't because it was scaled down,and the 3rd because the move to orign....

My point is,Copy protection doesn't really increase sales,it's the quality of the product.

This game, walking simulator is not.

Walking simulator is a genre of video games where most of the time you walk from location to location. Dear Esther, The Stanley Parable, etc.

In this game, yes, you walk a lot, but that's not main game mechanic; it's solving the over 600 puzzles. As the game becomes progressively more difficult you end up spending a considerable amount of time in each puzzle; could be 20 minutes, could be hours.

You want to point out its simplicity? Skip the incorrect walking simulator label and call it what it is. A puzzle game.

Next time you guys are going to call Myst a touch screen simulator or something because you "slide" from frame to frame to traverse its game world. Laughing

Or Mirror's Edge a running simulator because "all you do is run".

Basically it looks like this:

The game is divided into several themed locations around the big island (big island like gta5, where you can go anywhere, and themed like bioshocks levels)

You go to a certain location where you first need to figure out the basic "what do this puzzle want me to do" and then there are several puzzles centered around it.

They do require logic.

Most of the puzzles that can be cheated with random luck if you make a mistake they punish you by disabling the previously solved panel making you having to solve it again.

So, logic.

And those that do not punish you when you realize you'll face the same puzzle just harder and harder 50 more times, you'll go back and figure out how to really solve it because your luck is not going to work another 50 times.

So again, logic.

I brute forced through quite a few of them and besides the "penalty" of having the previously solved pad in the puzzle chain being made inactive again it's not too difficult to do but it does take a bit of time.
(Not much of a penalty though or at least so far it hasn't been, you've already solved that previous one so you know how to re-do it so it's just a short amount of backtracking.)

I assume it won't be quite as easy with later puzzle designs though or so I hope at least but it seems there's only these panel ones in the entire game so maybe not, anyways so far it's been no problem if you'd feel like skipping trying to match up the clues and the like on how to really solve the puzzle. Razz
(IE finding the correct branch on a tree that has a apple on it or having to align the puzzle panel with some background objects like rocky pillars so you see the path you are meant to take through the "maze" to solve it.
