This is an anon board so I'm free to admit I got filtered by this game and I am a massive fucking retard. I beat it, but not without referencing a guide more than I would admit in person.

>>719061596
gambling addicts are inherently retarded

what's the issue? dishonored 1 received a bafta and I still think it is a great game

>>719061384 (OP)
Don't know why the hell every post in this thread is retarded, but OP if you somehow haven't played Return of the Obra Dinn, give it a shot.

>>719061861
The captain killed everyone
Saved you from playing the game, OP. You're welcome

>>719061705
I have no idea what it won a Film Festival award for, but the fortuneteller cutscenes in this game are complete kino. maybe you should have played the game instead of getting mad over nothing.

>>719061861
because your gayme is rogueslop, not any kind of proper puzzle game

>all these anons filtered by the bare minimum rogue-like mechanics not realizing the real puzzle is using the in game rules and tools to overcome the randomization elements
Maybe stick to Outer Wilds, I think that's more you're speed. There's plenty of great puzzles in that game for you like "don't get eaten by the monster", and "the quantum rock moves when you don't look at it"

>>719062085
Tell me why I need to learn the game mechanics without sounding like a complete fucking nerd

>>719062085
>with the right RNG you can learn about how to use RNG to influence RNG so you can finally input the puzzle solution you figured out 10 hours ago
Brilliant.

>>719061861
Dunno about IQ - it's a well designed game, that even my legit stupid brother beat it with iirc using the guide only two times

Regardless, beri gud gejm

>>719062085
RNG mechanics aren't puzzles

>>719062085
Outer Wilds is 1000 times better than this pile of slop
what the fuck is it with soilennials and being addicted to gambling

>>719062446
No no you see if you grind stars long enough you'll get pity points to spend on rerolls

this game is luck based

>>719061384 (OP)
>reroll the day until you get the exact set of rooms you need to finish solving a puzzle
I went from really like this game to fucking hating it by the end.

>>719062509
I hated that this is what I had to do to finish the game

>>719062881

same, at first you like all the combinations you can get , problem is by the end of the game you need such specific combinations that ends up solely based on luck

I feel like the rng would be fine if we could unlock a few more permanent upgrades.

>>719061384 (OP)
a lot of this game isnt actually high IQ it's just paying autistic attention to minor things and following schizophrenic leads

>>719061384 (OP)
I like the puzzle aspect but the rng made my wiener soft. Any similar games without having to rely on any rng at all?

>>719061384 (OP)
Sure. Genshin Impact, Arknights, Fate/Grand Order...
I have no idea what you people see in glorified casinos, my IQ must be too low. I'll just stick to my regular old puzzle games.

>>719061914
you can actually name him as the cause of death for everyone

>>719062937
what what happens when you get that specific combination? a clue to a puzzle you've already solved.

>blue prince's drafting

why do midwits hate having to problem solve on the fly?

real high IQ is baba is you or lingo. this is high IQ for a woman.

dishonest game design

>>719065857

why do midwits love boring repetitive actions so much?

>>719065676
>do my damndest to get everyone right
>but alas we'll never really know what happened to the obra dinn

fuck that shit.

Blue Prince is good but you aren't supposed to 100% it, you're supposed to go as far as your curiosity takes you and as soon as it becomes too annoying to continue then you stop

If you do that, it's a pretty kino game.

>>719061384 (OP)
DSP enjoys the game and he’s unironically smarter than most people on /v/

>>719061384 (OP)
I watched someone play a bit of it and I looked up the solution to some sort of picture word association puzzle and man the solution was really reaching

>>719065047
Literally any other good puzzle story game.
Outer Wilds and Obra Dinn have already been mentioned in the thread.

Wow, great game.
More like Blue Balls

So what is the meaning of 8 Realms in 8 Months?

>>719067442
its part of the sigils puzzle

>>719067773
No, I meant "Why did Clara Epsen visit the 8 Realms in rapid succession?"

How the FUCK do I figure out
>the note in Clara Epsen's tomb? (also fuck that puzzle, I needed the Tomb, Her Ladyship's Chamber, the Workshop, the metal detector AND the magnifying glass just to find out that ending the day in bedrooms gives me steps? Fucking bullshit.)
>if the stuff about this not being Earth, the "spiral" and the other fucking planets is important to anything??? Seems like a weird amount of detail to go into.
>the note in the office, or like ANY safe combination after the first two?

>>719061917
Does Alzara ever tell you anything that's actually useful?

Gacha games are all the rage nowadays.

>>719063074
A permanent upgrade that gives you reroll die at the start of the day would have gone a long way..

>>719068012
>the note in the office, or like ANY safe combination after the first two?
There is a puzzle related to the two paintings you find in every room. It has a hint to the safe combinations.

>>719061384 (OP)
>Any similar high IQ games?
Thankfully, no.
Most high IQ games don't make you roll the dice to see if you're actually allowed to complete a puzzle after finding the solution.

>>719061384 (OP)
La Mulana is the archetypical comparison, in being a game with mandatory note-taking to figure things out despite not being explicitly a "puzzle game" first and foremost.

>>719061384 (OP)
I like this game but it's unironically more about RNG than actual puzzle solving

>>719061384 (OP)
void stranger

>>719061861
I tried playing this and it got too repetitive after an hour and the "puzzles" were just taking two steps to look at the other guy so I dropped it

>>719066975
There's nothing valuable to uncover. The lore and story isn't that interesting.

This one is pretty fun

>>719061914
youre a jerk :(

>>719071869
Sennar is fun
Try Exographer

>>719068012
If you're stuck you should probably spend your time drafting new rooms to search. There's a lot of hints everywhere, to the point where you don't really need outside help.

>>719075718
>to the point where you don't really need outside help.
Until you hit the Gallery, that one doesn't have hints.
until you grind enough achievements to be given the opportunity to potentially purchase blue tents

>>719065857
its fun the first few days, but by day 50 you should be understandably tired of it. if you arent, its a pretty strong indication you have the -tism

>>719061914
You’re an insufferable sperg, and a burden on all of the people around you IRL

>>719075849
I used this mod
https://www.nexusmods.com/blueprince/mods/16

it should've really been built-in to the game though

>>719061384 (OP)
>complete game
>there's a bunch of extra "puzzles" with no reward and don't even change the ending

>>719075926
i bet his mentality was something like "well i want the player to slow down and inspect his surroundings", which is coming from a dev who thought that implementing 30 years of competitive mtg was a good idea for your puzzle walking game.

>>719061861
Well,. Thanks tranie. You ruin me the game.

I just started Lorelei and the Laser Eyes and it's all pic related.

>>719076928
Can't expect it to be any good with such a name

>going for 1 Day and 1 Hour achievements
>final two rooms leading to antechamber are Pool and Pump Room
>no boiler room
>drain reservoir instead of fountain despite not having opened outer room yet and not having any Die
>hit 0 steps as I enter a bedroom
>next room has some fruit from Secret Garden
>enough to get me back to Dining Room
>get to outer room
>Tomb appears
Having come close before I was scared I'd be stuck trying for days but I think it took about 15-20 restarts

>>719076928
The numbers become predictable to the detriment of the puzzles, sadly.

>>719061384 (OP)
Like puzzle games? Myst, Riven, Obduction (from Cyan Games),The Witness, The Talos Principle I & II.

>>719077568
ask me how I know you haven't played all of those

>>719078484
I didn't play Riven or Obduction. Watched let's play series of them. How did you know?

>>719078946
?

>>719076002
but solving the extra puzzles is the fun part?

>>719076002
you didn't complete the game

>>719079828
getting to room 46 is the game
the rest is flagellation

>high-IQ game

Reminder that pic related played this.

this is the type of guy who "finished" automata after fake ending

>oh look at these newspaper clippings in the archive surely this is just fluff and I don't have to cross reference names and dates
>20h later

I hate puzzle games were you wonder about not knowing if you have all things/info to solve a puzzle. Perfect puzzle game for me is baba is you, especially early puzzles, you are in a small room with three things and you cant figure out what to do, that's just magic. For the same reason I dont like Outer Wilds

>>719080201
Automata is 90% padding
I did the bullet hell credits in offline mode.

Other puzzle games I like besides baba - into the breach, leafs odyssey, isles of sea and sky, stephens sausage roll(it filtered me though)

>>719080059
Getting to room 46 is the tutorial

>>719080331
you will never be white

>>719061384 (OP)
Pic unrelated because it's a RNG slopfest where the "puzzles" are toddler level

>>719061384 (OP)
Did they fix the stupid rng yet?

>>719080262
>game lets you take notes
>do not, in fact, take notes
HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEEEEEE

>>719081152
the game does not let you take notes, it tells you to buy a physical notebook
which doesn't even help all that much because you still gotta screenshot every damn page you find

i spent like 5 hours trying to get steam power to the lab, having to draft both those rooms and then also every room in between them needs to have a vent is absurd, i found my way into room 46 before i accomplished that and said fuck whatever the rest of the game has to offer too many games in life to be doinking around with this bullshit

>>719062085
If the only thing preventing you from solving a puzzle is the fact that you need to pass a slot machine and every time you fail you have to wait 5 minutes, thats not good game design.

>>719081286
I really wanna buy this but this type of bs just keeps me away from it, im not gonna sit there and reroll runs again and again just to pass a puzzle i solve hours ago.

>>719081759
>im not gonna sit there and reroll runs again and again just to pass a puzzle i solve [sic] hours ago
genuine character development from you anons when these posts are coming from people who haven't invested literally into the game

>>719080331
Outer Wilds has the computer that pretty much explains every clue you obtain and what it could possibly lead to.

>>719081286
you should be solving multiple puzzles at once as you move along
hyper focusing on one puzzle will lead to a bad time

>>719080331
>>719082487
the roottrees are dead gives you a numeric value for how many leads a clue has and the execution is surprisingly brilliant for an amateur game

>>719061917
Alzara scenes are overdramatic slop

>>719083376
>"I see a boy..."
>voice cracks

>>719083376
>>719083531
all of the voice acting is dogshit. room 46 game-winning-mother-voiceover, dare mode failstate reddit-ramble, alzara, etc.etc.etc.

>>719082923
imagine how much seething this caused the detective

>>719081286
This puzzle is trivial though. If you draft a room from the boiler room that's powered, you have like an 80% chance to get a room with power vents. I could probably connect the two every run if I wanted to, it's not that hard.

>>719084035
>you have like an 80% chance to get a room with power vents.
NTA but that's entirely untrue and I had the full list of vent rooms in front of me. your brief experience with an RNG mechanic is, unfortunately for the game, not how that drafting works.

>>719082923
Why doesn't this book give me a clue
spoiler yes I know it does

>>719076928
Very enjoyable puzzle game with cool lore... that gets largely ruined by the ending.
>What's actually going on in this game?
>Everything is the guilt-induced dying dream of an old woman.
>Okay so what about the Red Beast, and the Red Maze, and the order of magicians, and the...
>Probably just nonsense fluff made up by Renzo as background details for his unmade movie, played up by Lorelei's dream. This is a game where most info is filtered through two separate unreliable narrators, you really think the fantastical stuff is actually real?
I appreciate the game since, like Tunic, its main puzzle compels me to create a Paint doc filled with schizophrenic drawings that only someone who's played the game would understand in order to solve it, but the ending revelations really drag.

>>719084431
abstract puzzle design is all about how well the puzzle is communicated
the xyzabc puzzle is objectively horrible in every aspect

Thoughts on this game?

>>719061384 (OP)
I liked it but it gets really grindy towards the end.

>>719084417
It literally is. There's a book in the game that says as much. People checked the code and it literally works that way. Don't talk about shit you don't understand.

This is the lowest IQ game ever made

I don't have a mind's eye, so puzzle games and puzzles in general are useless to me.
