The Witness [1] A Quick Sprint to the End
0WARNING: This video does have mechanical and "plot" spoilers. I'm not playing this for the first time, so I won't really struggle through the concepts introduced in the puzzles. That doesn't mean I won't have a hard time with any of the puzzles, just I already know the mechanics.
That said, I don't plan on tackling any of the puzzles that build upon other puzzles without going through the tutorial area for the base mechanics first.
The Witness was my GOTY in 2016 and it's been over a year since I played it last, so I figured I might as well play it again. If you're watching this for the first time, I very strongly suggest you play the game for yourself and, if you are determined on watching someone play, watch someone who's playing it for the first time.
I'm really looking to playing this through again. There were some parts that I found personally frustrating—most notably the desert area, the bamboo forest, and some of the end game content. I'll be interested to see if I still find that content frustrating today.
I will be getting some of the environmental puzzles, but I will NOT be getting them all. Similarly, I won't be bothering to hunt down all the puzzles or audio tapes. If you're expecting a 100% playthrough, this isn't it.
