    A thousand puzzles??? Man, I am too stupid for a game like this.

    Meh, does anyone really care after The Witness? Braid was very much in the right place at the right time, but I’m skeptical of his ability to impress today.

    The voice acting from the trailer was surprisingly good though - so much that it clashed with the video they were showing.

        Interesting, I thought it seemed like it failed to make an impact and overall didn’t jive with people. Perhaps I’m just not the target audience for these anymore.

        I’m with you on that one, but I do understand it’s very much a game to a specific taste. When people tell me actually they hate The Witness it’s like, “Well … yeah.”

        I just enjoy it as a cozy, pleasant little puzzler with an interesting idea. I can appreciate Braid, too, but find it generally unpleasant to play and overwrought. It doesn’t do anything for me, but given when it was released in the early days of the indies I understand the impact it had.

        JB is a talented dev/designer no doubt, but he just doesn’t stand out in the crowd of indies these days like he used to.
