Found this on game pass (which I keep meaning to cancel, but here we are). Holy. Shit.
It’s a cute little cell shaded board style game. Might be fun to toy around with… Maybe just a couple more tries…wait what…?
It’s a masterpiece. It’s genius. It’s madness. It’s like Myst shot up the 7th guest and started snorting riddles.
Did anyone else stumble into this labyrinth? I’m obsessed.
While there is one main goal in front of you, all the shit they pile in front of you is more mystery, the solution of which will carry you closer to your goal.
It’s more like if Obra Dinn randomly had you play an Outer Wilds loop or Chants of Sennaar segment, with all the mysteries tying together.
Could it present the player withbsmallband large puzzles/mysteries without egregiously misusing RNG?
I’m not interested in the RNG telling me I can’t work on the thing that’s on my mind.
Well… A puzzle is a challenge. In Blue Prince, part of the challenge is that you need to engage with the clues you have available, not necessarily the clues you hoped for. Removing that challenge is to remove part of the puzzle.
You’re fully within your right to say that’s not your cup of tea, but I think it does contribute something meaningful to the puzzling.
