The Witness Review

By Gil Almogi

Quiet your mind.

Just over seven years since Jonathan Blow released his critically acclaimed best-seller, Braid, we are once again treated to the fruits of his toil. The Witness is thankfully nothing like Braid save for the puzzles. Here, you are dropped on a Myst-erious island full of puzzles—an almost absurd amount—with no idea…

  • Stunning graphics
  • Progressively increased challenge and complexity
  • Endless solving of puzzles may ward off players
  • Puzzles are all inorganic, which is intriguing in and of itself
  • Many curiosities around the island
  • Obscure narrative
  • Deeply immersive experience
