It's been in my library for years and I didn't know much about it. Randomly started playing it a few days ago and I've been having a blast solving the puzzles. It's been a while since a game has really made me want to finish it and see what is at the ending.

I'm at the end now working on the final (I think) puzzle.

(this is also my first ever lemmy post)

I'm going to give the unpopular opinion that I didn't really enjoy it. I think I got over half way and the puzzles started to feel a bit too samey to me. I really wanted to like it.

That's fair. I admit it feels grindy with some puzzle types.

Fair. I really enjoyed it (as much as I played. Didn’t finish. Should) but I get what you are saying. To each theirs!

I enjoyed it until the timed puzzles. I did't enjoy knowing the solution but being forced to play again and again and again to time it right.

Same. The puzzles were pretty average, and the writing was like something put together by someone who has just taken a first-year philosophy course and is now convinced that all of their ideas are Very Deep and completely original.

I had fun for about the first two worlds. After that the puzzles became to grindy and frustrating and I didn't have much fun with the puzzles with the recorders and the exploding enemies in particular. Also as someone who fears heights, the last section was pretty much unplayable.
