>The puzzles overall are not very hard... they're just standard Resident Evil type puzzles and never go beyond that. I was expecting some big brain shit like Outer Wilds but it was just password/code puzzles over and over. It was a good game overall but, but not amazing.
Basically why I dropped my hype on the game, for once a reviewer put it perfectly. Theres like zero interactivity with any of the puzzles. Its the effective equivalent of just pressing buttons in a correct order at every turn. No depth, No substance, No developments. Additional factors cannot be added to complicate something so fundamentally mechanically simple. Hence they can only stack how much you have to remember to press or so.
Which is Ironic, because Outer Wilds itself isnt very interactive, but its enviroment is very dynamic, so the game is about understanding how to find the order in the chaos basically. How to become "one" with the environment and flow with it. Not against it. Virtually every single outer wilds puzzle can be explained by this virtue.
And it is why, despite not having direct interactivity where the player can manipulate, effect, and change things naturally, logically as a direct course of an ACTION rather than "input".
The enviroment still gets to be interactive on its own, and engage you the player, and you engage it (Quantum stuff, Photographing. Its a feedback relationship, you need it to exist as something dynamic before you can stablize it without even interacting directly)
