Did you need a guide?

[Ghost-TeamX]

As the title suggests, what was your path getting through the game? Purist, occacional guide usage or platinum as fast as possible?

I had completed the game myself as there wasn't any guides available at the time. However, I made one so I'm sure there might be one or two people who used a guide.

I didn't play the game yet but I would've used a guide so yeah.

I'm not interested in the game (I hate puzzle games) and just want the platinum.

I started playing without a guide but decided to use one (especially for the speedruns since my memory sucks).

I used the PS+ Hints Video feature once, because my son was playing it, and using that feature a lot (he's a bit young still to go through all the patience of puzzle solving) but in that chapter the feature got glitched resulting in no videos being available. As he was watching me play he wanted to see if that feature would work for me, and as I got stuck a bit there myself, he wanted to see the hint (it was the Think Out Of The Box thingy).

Gotta say that that PS+ Hints feature on PS5 is a mixed blessing. It completely removes the threshold to go cheat. In the past, you would have to take your tablet or computer and go look up stuff on the Internet or YouTube, but now it's just available at your fingertips on your console.

I beat the game wirhout a guide, but then used one for the pet trophy afterwards.  Not bothering with the speedruns.

I broke down and resorted to guides multiple times when I got stuck. I played a little each night after work and didn't have the patience when I found myself spinning my wheels.

I'm enjoying it so far. Not as good as superliminal but hey definitely not bad. 

 

I strongly recommend you stay away from the witness if you hate puzzle games. It will make you rage haha

I thought I would go through without a guide. Apparently I'm dumb and this game triggers my motion sickness (for whatever reason!) so I'll be using a guide when I get around to it. 

[wolvieware]

Guide from the start! Lol.

 

I’m about halfway through and quite enjoying it but it’s so abstract I don’t know how you can work it out! I’ve used a guide from the first puzzle to help me then just kept using it.

 

it’s still fun to experience and play though so I don’t mind.

 

[Asimb0mb]

I only used a guide when I felt like I hit a wall. I would try some things first before looking up a guide to get me past whatever is blocking my progress. After that I play further without a guide until I hit a wall again.

[Thomas-R_82]

I wasn't planning on using a guide, but chapter 2 had me stumped for 45 minutes, the gameplay mechanic for making objects big/little in the environment had me try use a small item which wouldn't expand enough to use as a bridge.

 

I have since used a written guide for step by step when I got stuck and also used it to learn the levels to manually run through the time trials with practice too.

 

A think outside the box puzzle game with some of the requirements imaginative to get you to the next part in the level, really enjoyed the game, nice little title.

Amended judgement of game

[PhyrxianLibrarin]

None of the puzzles are super difficult. I think I checked for specific tips twice, once when a puzzle actually broke and I had to restart the chapter, and another time in Chapter 4? when I knew the solution but couldn't get the stairs to line up properly. The game barely does anything interesting with its one gimmick.

Whoever has written the guide on this website is an actual idiot. The guide is quite terrible, and I will never use it myself.

I didn't use a written guide from here didn't know there was one usually only videos. I googled one that gave descriptions and pictures of each part roughly 19+ per level to look at.

Hate puzzles, especially on a time limit.......

I don't think this title warranted time trials due to how precise some of the items had to be, so learning of the levels was good but all it took was a item not increasing or decreasing properly to mess your time and run.

 

Although after getting the platinum I enjoyed the challenge and the levels didn't really take all that long to complete if you had to do multiple runs.

[DwayneHawkins]

I started following the guide but after a level or two, I kind of wanted to do it on my own because I quite liked it.
