I dont agree, her whole point seems to be that you can look for the answers on Google, but thats YOUR fault, and that comparison with Portal is poor, she says you at least need some skills on Portal but... is that even relevant? Once you know the solution to a puzzle in Portal the skills required are just insignificant for the most part.

The Witness is a good game imo, smart puzzles, good feeling of wonder, beutiful artstyle... if you dont like it is not because "you dont get it dude" its just not your kind of game and thats ok.

This post pretty much sums up what I wanted to say.

I am sick and tired of people complaining about indie games as being pretentious, artsy or simply a walking simulators. You dont like it, dont get it. I dont like football simulators, tough I admire their quality when someone actually takes the time and explains them to me. WIll I play them afterwards? No. But that doesnt mean that I cannot value quality, simply because it is not my cup of tea.

You dont get the puzzles, or the meaning of the game. Mybe it has no meaning for you then, doesnt mean that someone else might not enjoy it, or actually remain with more then a high score.

Couldn't agree more!

It's a game you need to play to understand that it's definitely more than some ''mobile puzzle game in a 3D world''. Many people enjoyed the game, so perhaps it's a good game for its genre? However, some people can't accept that. I'm not the person to review a shooter or sports simulator, as those are not my types of games, but I won't downplay those games, because I don't like them. If it's not your type of game, move on and buy something else.
