    Re: The Witness (PS4/PC)

    Some puzzles appear to be confusing without reason. It's as if everything I thought I learned as I progressed through an area is suddenly thrown out the window. I'm not sure at times which rule applies when I get to the final puzzle.

    It's causing me to be completely stumped in the final puzzle with limbs, leaves and shadows. Might have to give up on it for now.

A lot of people said what I said, about never having issues with motion sickness at all. Some people were saying using a high performance monitor (144hz) could be doing it as well, which my BenQ has
      I do get motion sickness, but I don't recall ever having it while playing a game. It's weird that I played for a few hours the first night with no issues, than 5 minutes in, I was getting nauseated. I am just playing on a LCD TV. Pretty far back from the set as well.

        Finally got past it. I ended up just doing a process of elimination and guessed right eventually.

          Where are the tutorial panels for the tetris blocks? I was told "red swamp" but I can't find a red swamp unless it's right in front of me.

          I've encountered various areas that have a Tetris block puzzle but I haven't found the initial training panels for those puzzles

            Welcome to my dark twisted nightmare.

            I'm stuck on those too. No idea where to start with them. The only shape I think I understand are the triangles.

              I was under the impression there are training panels for every puzzle type but maybe I'm wrong and some just require trial and error to solve?

                That's my worry. I guess I need to venture out more and see what comes up.

                  If you found the Keep, the Swamp is to the right of that. It's on the right side of the island. I'm pretty sure every puzzle type has a tutorial also, just a matter of finding the right area.

                  7 areas done for me so far. On my way to the endgame now. I'll have to come back and finish up the last few areas once I beat it.

                    Ok thanks. I'll give it a look.

                      Finished the game last night. That final area has some really cool puzzles, but damn are they tough.

                      Have to go back and finish the Quarry, which I'm halfway done with and then do the Town which I haven't touched yet. Seems like the Town is supposed to be done last since its puzzles are a combination of different puzzles from other areas.

                        So I scooped this up this morning, but I only got to play for a little bit. Very happy with my purchase right now. I can already tell that this will be fun to work through.

                        I got to this puzzle and I was like wtf? Then I left and came into the area that basically shows you what you need to know to solve it. When I went back and figured it out, I was like oh man that's awesome. Looking forward to seeing how these puzzles evolve throughout this campaign.

                          That puzzle inadvertently taught me to not trust some rules. I'm still trying to figure out if I'm confused or it's on purpose.

                          So I have started to doubt what I'm being taught. It makes me leery of other puzzles.

                              This has been downloaded for a few days now, but I have not had any gaming time. I think tonight is when I'll finally dig in. I am going in almost completely fresh.
