Also, it's sometimes hard wether to think a puzzle is 'clever' or just outright 'unfair'. You can test the puzzle on a huge number of people (let's say 100 play testers dedicated exclusively to puzzles) but everyone in general is so different that you might just be unlucky. I think the main problem about this is that a lot of puzzle games are often called 'too easy' and it's really hard to find a middle ground. It would be okay, if the puzzle wasn't placed in the same category as the other 20 or so puzzles, if I somehow could tell that here I will need much more time. In other words, it makes me sceptical to all the puzzles that I don't solve after a shorter period of time, as I don't know whether they at all are solvable. Sure, I can after a certain time of failing look up a walkthrough, but that presents a big problem which I experience almost as game-breaking as a bug: how can I know which other of the game's puzzles are that extreme? How do I know that after failing to find an answer after 1 hour of thinking and searching, that the game is something that would require weeks of guessing and usage of outside systems to solve, or if it just requires another hour of careful in-game exploration? which requires you to think that far out of the box that you need to use systems outside the game to solve it). This 'harder' category ranges from extremely complicated to just straight forward harder system. If all of them are solved, they will provide certain information and content. For those who are not familiar with the game: it in addition to 'standard' puzzles includes puzzles that are harder. You wouldn't miss out the main element of the story, but you would miss exposure to elements that strongly fill out certain details of the story.īut in turn this had an even worse effect on me. This is fine, but based on a recent experience in The Talos Principle I came over a puzzle that was extremely hard, and at the same time was related to the game's story. /r/GamePhysics - Clips of game physics shining and glitchingĭesign based on /r/FlatBlue created by /u/creeschĬertain puzzle-based games include puzzles of varying difficulty, where some puzzles are easy, some hard, some very hard, and then there are a few that are extremely hard./r/gaming4gamers - middle ground between purely-for-fun and more serious subreddits./r/GamingLeaksAndRumours - Leaks and Rumors.Posting unmarked spoilers will result in removal and warning, and posting spoilers with malicious intent will result in a ban.
