The Witness Bewertungen

Unfortunately, the developer turns out to be a huge jerk with a messiah-complex who thinks he's going to save the world with his new programming language that he's creating. The game though is really good. But sorry, the developer's actions also influence the review score. The game design is well executed. The developers know how to construct a good tutorial, the UI is extremely reductive and minimal, exactly how it should be, only showing the bare minimum that is needed. The open world aspect is also well designed. If you are stuck at a puzzle, you can simply go somewhere else and start solving puzzles there. The game's mechanics are elegantly designed, replacing standard actions in a game with the line-drawing mechanics. For example, instead of pressing "E" to open a door, you have a simple line puzzle at the side, which when you solve it opens the door. This removes unnecessary mechanics. The best puzzles in the entire game are those who use the environment. The sound puzzles are one of the most creative things I've ever seen in a game. Brilliantly done. The worst puzzles were in the mountain, where the game artificially obstructs your view, making many of the puzzles rather annoying.
