Those puzzles which will instantly make us sag forwards and sigh at the floor.
For me, it’s light refraction puzzles. I CAN NOT abide them. Every time I come across them in a game, I shut my mind off to enjoyment and – with gritted teeth – power through, just to get to the next section.
I’ve - again - chatted to my GF colleagues and they’ve responded with the puzzle types that make them yank out clumps of their own hair and offer it as a gift to Satan; clock puzzles, book puzzles, statues, jigsaws, sliding puzzles...it’s all there.
“It’s got to the point where I don’t even know if I enjoy complex puzzles anymore.
Growing up in the ‘90s with graphic adventures and inventory-based stuff, it felt fun and narrative-driven, regardless of how absurd the outcome, I mean, I’m playing a game, I don’t care how ridiculous the answer is, just don’t be boring.”
“As I moved through gaming in the ‘90s, you’d get the usual key/gem/amulet etc. which was all when and good, but occasionally there’s be times when you’d have to rearrange shattered glass or parts of ripped-up paper and I just couldn’t feign enthusiasm for them.”
“Clock puzzles...I’ve NEVER thought, ‘this game needs more clock puzzles’”
Which puzzles make you eat your own shoes in wild fits of furious rage?
