redpill me on thisshould I get it while it's on sale?t. puzzle enjoyer
The roguelike puzzle game it pretends to be is a lot less interesting than the elaborate metapuzzle it actually is.
>>731110662No. It's a dumb waste of time. It you do get it, ether by buying or for free, I suggest you cheat engine from day one. Quadruple walking speed. Triple all resources.
>>731110732lol I didn't notice it was a roguelikeI'll wait for a bigger discount
If the idea of assembling a jigsaw puzzle where the pieces are rng and there's a high chance you can't finish the puzzle sounds great, go for it>>731110732>elaborate metapuzzlekek no
>>731110662No it's gay tranny race communism
>>731110662I think I recommend it overall but it has a very small amount of peaks in terms of actual puzzle design. Past the "ending" the game gets very tedious and the actual true ending stuff winds up feeling very underwhelming
>>731110662Really great.Everyone who doesn't like it was just too stupid and got filtered. This includes anyone replying to disagree with me btw.Worth noting that the game has about three "ending" points and you should probably stop at the second if you're not a maniac. You have to go past the first otherwise you might as well not play it.
It’s good but it’s equal parts a roguelite and a Myst-style puzzle game so you really have to want both at the same time. If you just want a puzzle game, you’re going to have to deal with doing multiple runs and very often being fucked through nothing but bad luck.Also Room 46 is just the start.
>>731110662it's not even a puzzle gamethere's one room that has 3 boxes where you have to find which box is telling the truththat's it, that's the only puzzle in the game everything else is just boring RNG juggling crap
>>731110662if you go in expecting an escape room you will get filtered and annoyedif you are a schizo who likes weird esoteric secret hunting you'll probably love the puzzlesit will absolutely waste your time and test your patience with the gambling rng shit and you'll question why some of the design is so shitbut it also has incredible moments and amazing puzzle design that will keep you entertained for more than 100 hoursusing speed hack is recommended

>>731112605AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>731110662the base game is fun even if you don't end up getting drawn in by the metapuzzles
>>731112378See that's the kind of reply that just proves you got filtered hard.
>>731111771>kek noAdd a word to Spiral of Stars, then gain one Key and one Gem for each rank reached, then lose three Steps for each rank reached, then gain one coin for each day spent, and then lose two Stars. If you have less than forty Steps, gain one random item from the showroom. If you have less than twenty Steps, open all antechamber doors, then set your Steps to forty. Also, your luck has been increased and you can no longer gain Steps or Gems or Keys or Gold and your day will immediately end if you ever attempt to add another word to Spiral of Stars.
>>731110732It's a roguelike where you put certain rooms next to each other to get special interactions.There's two "puzzles"There's a few safes scattered around. The codes are just random dates + "how many apples appear in the painting in this room?" Except the game doesn't tell you that the amount of apples is the safe code.The other puzzle is after you beat the main game. You just put in a bunch of info you find out about each country from the lore. That's right, the puzzle is just backtracking and looking for random books.To answer your question, no do not get it if you like puzzles. Maybe get it if you like roguelikes where you do the same thing a hundred times for minimal meta progression.
>>731113053holy autism
>>731113126For the first of those, I think you missed some critical clues.For the second, that's more of a side event to get a key to something that helps you with the actual big puzzle of the "second act".
>>731113145I didn’t memorize it, my point is that the game has extremely elaborate (and arguably, still some unsolved) metapuzzles. To suggest it doesn’t implies you’ve not seen a significant chunk of the game’s content. Hence my invoking one of its biggest mysteries, the Spiral of Stars.
>>731110662you should be wary of any supposedly intelligent puzzle game that doesn't filter some peopleif you can read the subtext there, this game is for you
>>731113231>firstsure you do the painting thing, to get some message. and there's some hint in that one bedroom. It stills ends up being guesswork on what the actual code is. It's not a puzzle.The game is just backtracking, repetition, and busywork.
>>731113304why are puzzlefags always incredibly insecure and feel some strange need to put themselves above others?
>>731113237wasnt everything solved after one week
It can be fun if you have the self control to do all of the puzzle solving yourself without any assistance. But if you're the type to get impatient or lazy you'll end up feeling like your time is being wasted.
>>731113304Filtered many in this thread apparentlyDoes it mean it's smart? Or that /v/ is retarded? We already know the real answer.
>>731113571IIRC there's still a bunch of stuff about the atelier and the does it never end anagram that still haven't been solved.
>>731113684good puzzle games are rated overwhelming positivethe best are rated mixed
Got the true endingGame is more like a metroidvania where you get an upgrade that lets you do something new in earlier stages. You draft a new room, and the game tells you how to interact with something you came across earlier. Repeat ad infinium. Your time is also wasted through the rng room placement for a huge portion of the game.Don't bother, if I didn't fall for the time wasted fallacy I wouldn't have finished it. Not a puzzle game.
it's a shit game that only got popular due to journalists hyping it up
>>731114205
>>731110662>should I get it while it's on sale?You will regret wasting time on it.
>>731110732>>731111263I think it really suffers from diminishing returns, some early puzzles are cool, room 46 is great, and some milestones are really satisfying such as opening up the door in blackridge grotto, but then in the late game there are so many puzzles which all end up more like a "that's it?!" sort of reacting than anything else, like the sanctum doors, such cool looking rooms for basically a wet fart of a reward
>>731110662it's puzzle solving with alot of deck (or technically pool) management thrown in. It's time consuming but a neat twist instead of just getting put in a single room with a puzzle like every other puzzle game everthe payoff after the "second" end sucks dick so maybe dont bother but atleast continue after the first end if you didn't seethe like /v/ after the first 30 minutes
>>731110662it's a really good game, but there will come a point where you're fighting the game to progress because it's not giving you the rooms you know you need to get new information or perform a specific taskif you can live with that, you'll really enjoy it
