Good luck gamer.

Good luck gamer. no the town is more bullshit than the treehouses. so is the tetris marsh. ive only done like 6 tree house puzzles though so maybe it gets retarded. i hate solving 5 puzzles in a row easily and then getting hopelessly stuck on the next one. and then when i finish it after hours and hours, i pwn the next 3 or 4, which are techinically harder, in minutes. ugh. i love the game though

PleasingFungus posted:what symbol? i don't remember that... the yellow triangle puzzles. the rule isn't too hard to figure out, but there's no tutorial sequence for them (or you could say, there is one, but it's a bunch of individual "broken" panels that don't trigger anything if you solve them, and are scattered in random places on the map).

in the treehouses i learned that on the bridges, you dont have to complete the last puzzle to make it to the other side. does that mean they are optional or do you have to finish them all to ultimately activate the laser

I'm too dumb to figure out how to take screenshots so I just take pictures of my monitor with my phone. And drawings. I should probably just print out some of my pictures and draw on those.

i just finished the tree house zone and its definitely my favorite so far. at first when i opened up the 'shortcut' i was like wtf where do i go now but then i looked at the bottom of the bridges and when i realized i could rotate them... n'oh my god such a cool mechanic. now i just have to finish the swamp and the town presumably before uncovering the Secret of the mountain.

i really like the the quarry's gimmick symbol thing where it cancels out one rule. too bad im loving hopelessly stuck again. i really don't look forward to going back to the town because for real im not even close to being equipped mentally to solve those puzzles. but i will persevere, i have to fuckin know whats inside that mountain and what on earth the ending is like. if its not absolutely insane i will be extremely disappointed

also, you'll be disappointed if you're hoping for a big story revelation, this game isn't about that and there's no "plot" to speak of. so if you're expecting an absolutely insane ending cutscene, you should just give up now. but if you're expecting insane puzzles, you won't be disappointed. in the witness, whenever you ask "what's the secret behind the door??" the answer is always "more puzzles" i spoilered that, but nothing i wrote there is really a huge secret so read it if you want. its just a general point about the witness that becomes clear after you play it a bit, i didnt say anything specific.

imo the 'full' ending is pretty good... not for, like, plot, but just as a cool thing to complement the rest of the game

The big thing is 'ending' the game deletes your save pretty much, so don't do it unless you're finished.
