Variant & Criterion Dungeons

stuff

I think where it stands to be a problem is that in say a puzzle platformer you might run into a puzzle you can't solve because you need something from a different area the general idea is communicated in a much clearer fashion where as here you would expect the puzzle solves to have some in dungeon/visual clues but instead they are tucked away in little notes in a journal. Even worse someone might not have the time or desire to run this more than once or twice any given day and the expectation that you remember what you've tried or haven't over the course of weeks is kind of ridiculous. You also don't know if you got the solve right until you finish clearing the entire thing so you're set to potentially be running the same instance over and over hoping you worked out the correct answer.

I imagine most people will just look up a guide cause at the end of the day ain't nobody got time for that.

If people don't have time for that, this game isn't for them. All we have is time and there are groups that have already done it without looking at a guide.

It's not about FOMO it's about it being a hella tedious approach to a puzzle game but you go on and feel smug

your point was mostly about time and tunnelling the content, I do consider that FOMO. feel free to think everyone is just attacking you rather then you are failing to communicate.

Pretty sure my point was about it being obtuse in it's design to the point where it feels tedious to do it the "correct" way but you just happened to cling on to the little quip at the end.

you had two points, one is that you had to read a note "tucked away in little notes in a journal", when this only happens in on a few particular notes, #2 and #7, and sorry to break you that reading is also a required feat to solve puzzles, if you don't want to read and chooses to just ram the content, because honestly mashing into a sole route during countless our just sounds like a madmen doing, I'm sorry for you.

all the rest of it is literally all about time, like you can't absolutely take a rest and try an different approach.
