The Witness is so weird for me because as a puzzle experience its like genuinely extraordinary but i also find it so painfully unevocative i always lose interest. and like i like abstract puzzles game with no coherence or vibe but The Witness is in this weird middle place for me where its not abstract enough to be pure puzzle vibes but i also dont find its world or aesthetic interesting enough to like pull me in as a more vibe-based exploratory experience. it falls way short of the interesting intrigue of Myst's environments for me.
those bits when you do a puzzle in the environment are sitll pretty sick though.
