The Witness fold my brain and subsequently rearranged it. I can’t describe this master class of lateral thinking and bustling exploration in any other way. Knowledge is everything.

The progression depends on how many secrets of this island you have discovered. The Witness could’ve scattered its hints scantily. Instead, hundreds of exciting puzzles are lined up in every corner.

The minimalism of many line puzzles should be a matter of taste, but I am beguiled by the elegance with which The Witness rebuilds such a simple scaffolding every minute — in shapes that surprise for many hours of gameplay.
