Destructoid: "Guild Wars 2 is an MMO for people who both love and hate MMOs. Outside of living a fulfilling life entirely as a crafter (à la Ultima Online), you can pretty much find solace in anything you can imagine an RPG would provide."
(Guild Wars 2, PC)
"Vistas are the main highlight here, as they're essentially elegant platforming puzzles that will test you to your limits. Like classic 3D platforming games of all, pure skill is rewarded here, as some of the city vista challenges are absolutely bonkers."
Some vistas may be a bit of a challenge to get to, but the real "platforming puzzles" are the actual puzzles hidden around the maps that aren't even listed in map completion. Just finding some without a guide will be hard as hell. If you want an example, look up Lion's Arch Secret Troll Garden. Hidden as can be, and sadly not a Charr friendly puzzle... Also, the puzzles reward chests every time you complete them and an achievement the first time.
