Unlike Tyler who was unable to stay spoiler free, I was not :(

I felt the same

What he was missing was that both columns fit together when paired up on either side.

Me watching him leave it after just not doing the idea he said lmao

yea they aren’t mirrored, they’re opposites

Oh hey, didn't expect to see you here

what was the actual solution to the pillar puzzle at 13:58? I just saw that there were only 5 bits that I had no ideas for and just brute forced my way though. The final shrine puzzle was really good though, it took me ages cause I was missing the obvious

@@crimsonvale7337 rot13 for spoilers, but the concept of the puzzle is: Gur yrsg cvyyne vf oebxra ng gur gbc, gur evtug cvyyne vf fhozretrq ol jngre va gur obggbz. Gurer vf n cynpr jurer gur pyhrf orgjrra cvyynef bireync, nyfb qba'g sbetrg gung cvyynef vaireg gur pyhrf.

@@IcelyPuzzles Thanks, it does make sense now that I look at that spot.I think I've just been getting puzzle burnout, given how much I've been playing already

don't forget that editing is there who knows how much time passed

well... I think the red wire actually means "optional" or "shortcut"

Yep. Red wires are access to shortcut paths

I think its mostly due to his experience with prior puzzles games, particularly the Witness

I'm pretty sure that Tyler has a higher IQ than 98% of people.

68th 👍

Hi I'm just here to remind people IQ is NOT a good way to measure intelligence in any way, it's pseudoscience and we should not take it seriously.

I'm always megaimpressed too but this time I'm shocked how he missed the ground being the puzzle and to which ones for more than 3 minutes lmao

the second one is solvable without the grass

@@1e1001 Indeed. As are most of them. All it was was the first example of a visual clue.

it can definitely be both

A puzzle that doesn't give pain isn't a good dedicated puzzle game, unless it's for relaxation and stress-relief

@@swordzanderson5352 That depends on two things, really: The player's experience with puzzle games (someone very experienced may find easy what another player would find very difficult), and why the puzzles are painful (is it because they're hard, or because they're unfair? - i.e. there isn't enough info in-game to solve it and you *have* to guess some things due to poor design)

@@alansmithee419 IMO, that's frustration. If even experienced puzzle players are frustrated by a puzzle, chances are the hints are way too obscure. Then again, if the game was meant to be INCREDIBLY challenging, there wouldn't be many hints at all. But all in all, yeah, I agree with you, it depends. But a puzzle game should never be afraid of giving a reasonable challenge to the player and trust that they can solve it.

The guy who saw something

hi garrett

@@notarock42 hi bing bong

That would also mirror a mechanic in The Witness, so I had the same thought.

the rules is taught in other place

this isn't as close to your other examples, but Pipe Push Paradise and Stephen's Sausage Roll had elements of physical meta overworld gameplay although it was few

Same on the top right bridge where you could have a circle connecting everything.. I guess it's possible to have everything connected to each other and never had to change the bridges again :D
