Gamespresso: "Modern gaming has changed a lot since the days of Myst and Riven. While at the time the point and click, single-screen slideshow-esque set up was considered an immersive open world, games have now progressed to fully realized 3D spaces. Simultaneously, the majority of puzzle games have transitioned either into indie adventure titles or mobile games. It’s in the midst of all of these differences and conflicting ideas that The Witness emerges with the simple genius to combine all of it together."

The Witness might be one of the best games ever made. A fun, frequently frustrating study on mysteries, humanity and a love of true magic.
The Witness is pure brilliance. I platinum'd it on PS4 and recently replayed it on PS5. It's definitely an incredible experience that requires no spoilers so just let the island guide you. Yes, the puzzles can get tough but they are never beyond completion so take come back and go see other things. There is also a ton of storytelling and mystery in the visuals. The Witness is the first game I have played that really took my mind to new heights of creative thinking and perspective. This game is more than meets the eye and 100% a masterpiece.

I'm loving the game so far, just wish it had more variety of puzzles than just the maze/grids. Still a great game though.
For one type of puzzle there's a surprising amount of depth and satisfaction to be had. I'm actually enjoying it more than puzzle games that have a variety of puzzles. Probably because the world is compelling and the puzzle designs are incredibly well thought out. It's true though, I do hope his next game hits the same level of quality but improves in the variety department. I actually prefer Braid conceptually but for some reason I am enjoying Witness vastly more. It doesn't make sense to me but I love it.
