A blast, there are far too many rhythm games that just have you tapping, swiping, and zoning out to amorphous representations of nothing that erode my mind. This is not that. Good story, challenging and deep combat at higher difficulty settings, and just all around fun to play! Highly recommend if you like rhythm/adventure/platformer games, may this be a rebirth of the jet set radio future!

lots cigarettes, also gun

I have enjoyed almost 60 hours in this game so far, and I've only beat 2 unique bosses, highly recommend!

Do be aware that this soon after release there is still a minor issue on some machines with asset streaming and shader compilation that may cause temporary lockups on higher end machines and minor stuttering on lower end machines due to the higher end machines attempting to load larger assets. Theoretically this should be fixable via patches so this complaint may become outdated quickly. If you have issues try extending your play session and if a boss is causing issues try baiting attacks for awhile to get particle effects to load in (which may stutter/lockup) and then once the framerate smooths out begin pressing the attack.

I only I had a giant but hole!

The Witness is a beautiful and intricate game that guides you into it's puzzles efforlessly.

Pros:
* Beautiful Visuals (Crisp simple textures and geometry with just the right amount of detail.)
* Easy to understand puzzle mechanic that has tons of depth.
* Themed puzzle areas are well defined and fit together nicely on the island.
* Lots of "Aha!" moments!

Cons:
* Sometimes puzzle difficulty can ramp up quickly.
* Some puzzles rely on color, which can be extra difficult for color vision deficient folks like myself.

I would say this is a must-have game if you enjoy more slow paced puzzle games, especially ones set in a world you can explore and try to understand and piece together like Myst.
