However, I found a lot of the time when I reached some puzzles I was given nothing that resembled guidance as to how they worked. You’re shown the most basic of concepts and are forced to apply them to more complex puzzles, and even learning how those simpler puzzles work gives you a references point for some of the mid-tier ones you’ll come across. There’s nothing that resembles a traditional tutorial, and I think that actually works in the game’s favor in the beginning. It’s something like Journey or Gone Home in that way.īut even so, it’s hard to appreciate much of that mystique when the game seems altogether unwilling to meet you halfway. The Witness is something that is filling every inch of a very specific page, and it means it’s compact and structured in a way that few games ever are.
It’s the advantage of having this enclosed space to walk around, and limiting freedoms in order to make sure the player is seeing exactly what you want at any given moment. You’re right about one thing, the game feels very focused and deliberate.
