The Best Game I have Played

The subtlety and depth are amazing. Most of the critics of the game miss most of the puzzles.


Great game, wrong platform.
Meep! Meep!

I played this game for the first time on PS4 and loved it. It is almost unplayable on iOS. The controls are absolute garbage. They could really learn from the KOTOR port and make It so that you can move around through simple press and release gestures instead of the aggravating click only movement.


Frustrating on touchscreens
Mistfall

Beautiful and challenging game. I love it except for one big problem—many puzzles rely on lining up elements in a scene so that from a particular point of view, the puzzle solution can be seen. On a touchpad it can take an painfully long time to get precisely the correct position and camera angle to line things up correctly. A bit off with your panning, move a bit too far forward or back, left or right, and you won’t see the solution. If you play this, do yourself a favor and use a keyboard rather than a touchscreen . Spending 40 minutes failing to get the right viewing angle without any way of doing small correction nudges with arrows really spoils the game.


Great and perfectly designed game

I enjoyed a lot playing The Witness, easily top 5 of the best games I’ve played ever. Although at the beginning of the game the controls feel a bit weird (I inverted the rotation on the settings) you can get use to it quite fast and actually makes a lot of sense for the rest of the game. I would not suggest this game for someone who is looking for a fast pace action game. This is a game about discovery and about learning to see things in a different way, even your own mental processes and the model we have of the world.


Never updated

It makes me sad that a game like this doesn’t get updated after its initial launch excitement. I have a new iPad Pro that is just begging to be used for gaming like this, but then checking the App Store page reminds me that its most recent update was well over a year ago. New devices, no luck. They just pushed this to the store and left it there. I see this all too often in big-name App Store releases and there’s no backlash or accountability for it. It’s disheartening as a fan of these games and this kind of model. Update: Thanks, team, my review was seen loud and clear! This has been updated and I greatly appreciate the extra attention and TLC given to this port. Cheers! I changed my review from 1 to 5 stars. ?


Absolutely spectacular!
Jaedendak

Hours and hours of play. Awesome value for the price. Yes, its all maze games, but varied solutions that require you to think out of the box. Get this, get it now.


Can’t do puzzle

This game is really fun you can do it for hours without stoping but when I reached the first room I the end part I couldn’t do one of the puzzles to open one of the doors

Love the game. The message “warning:cannot save your progress “ keeps popping up on the screen, when in fact, it is saving my progress. It’s very irritating.
