How many of you have heard of The Witness before?It seems there is no game that is the most difficult to play when compared with puzzle games. This kind of game is deliberately designed to spin your brain to solve the various puzzles given..  It is a 3D puzzle video game developed and published by Thekla, Inc. When viewed on a larger scale, even though puzzle games have varying degrees. There are only designed for casual gamers, with a variety of games looking for hidden objects; some are designed to encourage cognitive skills and solve problems, and this game has a more difficult level. However, The Witness brings everything to a higher level. Open world in The Witness is not only beautiful, but it is used to hide puzzles.

With the popularity of giant games scattered throughout the year 2016, so something that is not surprising if you miss this one game. Unlike most other action-packed and explosive games, The Witness blends Jonathan Blow - the brains behind the Braid game series - will instead make your brain a focus and not just eye and hand coordination. With the glasses of the first person and the beautiful world he offers, The Witness is ready to make you think hard. What do all games have in common, other than the bare fact of their interactivity? Announced in 2009, The Witness had a lengthy development period. I feared that Blow’s magnificent new puzzle game had deadended my ability to reach a solution. The Witness shows a much more difficult gameplay level when compared to all the current puzzle games. Not only are you required to complete the puzzle, but beforehand should also be able to understand the mechanics behind the puzzle itself! As if that were not enough, every puzzle offered in this game will continue to grow and become much more difficult.

So, what is The Witness? Just like games like Talos or Portal, you'll be faced with a world full of puzzles in every corner to complete. Although Blow has confirmed that not everything must be completed to continue the story of this game to complete, but he is ready to take a dozen hours of your life at least. But if you're ambitious to solve more than 650 ready-made puzzles, you'll need about 80 hours of your own game. Blow even claimed one of the puzzles would only be finished no more than 1% of the number of players who tasted The Witness. I view this sort of thing—e-mailing a game developer questions about his difficult game—as a last resort. There are many answers, but the one I'm most convinced by is that all games are teaching mechanisms.

When viewed from the visual side, The Witness is a game that is so beautiful. The quality of the graphical display in this game is so refreshing, thanks to the natural landscape of cartoon and colorful nuances. Compensation like this seems very important when viewed from the glasses of players. Because, you can be sure you need to see the beautiful nature after many hours to see a similar puzzle to solve it! Interested to taste it? Released for PC later this month, The Witness finally opens a pre-order period via their Store page in Steam. With a selling price range of around Rp 270,000, -, he also released the PC specifications needed to taste it.

However, we need to warn that this game is not for fans of ordinary or casual puzzles. Because this game will not spoil you just like any other puzzle game. If you really like to rack my brain in order to solve the problem and have a high curiosity, as well as the patience to keep trying, then this game will be very suitable to play. In addition to the kind of hardcore gamers like that, you should give up just before your brain konslet due to overheating! It’s the thing you do when you’ve tried everything else and are  considering, hubristically, that maybe the problem is with the game. You  know in the back of your mind that it isn’t, and you’re just a failure.

 The clue could be something as innocuous as the movement of water, or how an object looks at a distance. What about your own PC? Ready to run this one game? Or are you totally uninterested in a puzzle genre that exhausts brainpower like this? Here’s an early puzzle with just one right answer. You would start by  placing the game’s cursor on the circle at the bottom and then trace a  line up to one of the nubs at the top. Can you solve it?

This looks actually quite cool, thanks for sharing!
I've actually been doing some "historical" gaming posts lately, covering noteworthy games released in certain years (just made two about 93 and 2000) and it's really nice to see puzzle/quest kind of games being picked up again lately
