Is it really as hard as they say? I don't like being stuck on one thing for 2 hours

The witness is shit though, it basically just a phone game. It's so pretentious and has major indie syndrome. Play a good puzzle game that respects your time like Myst or Baba instead.

If you seriously hate The Witness then you can't pretend to like Myst, it's like those posers pretending to love Thief and then hate on every single other stealth game, they are in reality just entry-level faggots that can only play is considered the best game in the genre.

Both Myst and The Witness are great and scratch that itch, you thinking it's pretentious just shows how stupid you are and how much you missed.
