BeefJack: Has the Internet Destroyed the Puzzle Element in Video Games?
BeefJack writes: Now yes, all sorts of comparisons have been thrown at Darksiders as of late. Comparisons to Zelda being the main culprit, and while I’m sure you’re sick of hearing all about that it did bring up an interesting point. During Darksiders I only got stuck from time to time on a puzzle here and there, but I pressed on and found myself trudging through the adventure with little to no problems.
When I came up against Silitha (that’s the big spider boss by the way) I found myself with a problem I couldn’t over come. I simply didn’t know how to beat her, and if what I was attempting to do was the right thing. There’s nothing worse than fighting a boss that doesn’t show any signs of damage or if you’re fighting them correctly, something which was just down to bad design.
