The Witness

The camera rotation during walking make me sick.

人物走動很難用，常常不小心走過頭，跑步／上下樓梯的時候視野還會自動上移下移，是很仿真啦但超暈的。感覺跟Faraway很像，Faraway也是這種人物移動方式，超討厭的。

玩了這個遊戲真的有深深的體會求而不得的感覺，富有詩意跟邏輯的遊戲，還有在不當遊戲時你的腦袋還會去思考一筆畫解法，甚至到了頓悟的時刻，不可思義的遊戲，就像作者的Braid一樣，都是能改變你對生命認知的遊戲，強烈推薦不看攻略來完成謎題，那解密時的頓悟和完成後的頓悟感將會是最後的獎勵

我是玩過一次別的平台的才會購買，不然300對一個手遊真的蠻貴的，一路遊戲體驗很棒，還原度也很高，除了基本手遊控制限制、手機發熱等問題，跑起來也非常流暢。但是我在某一次開啟遊戲就發現回到初始地，對於一個需要花很多時間累積的解密遊戲是一個很差的體驗，希望能有解決方式！

雖然這個遊戲是別的平台移植的， 依然可以感受到原作的用心，與場景的設計感 但給看到我的評分的人，因為依舊迫於無奈是在手機📱上跑，所以畫質稍微有跟原作差一點，不會不清楚只是非常細微的細部有點差

滿有意思的一款遊戲，個人雖然不是很愛荒島求生類型的遊戲，但荒島解謎的我完全可以啊！！！畫面細緻不在話下，流暢度也是一流，目前玩到第一道雷射而已，關卡題目感覺有精心設計過，而且也不難懂，有時走幾步就可以想出來，而且會自動透過雲端備份遊戲紀錄，真的是滿值得購買的一款遊戲。

The controls are the worst ones I've ever seen. Tap to walk is the dumbest idea ever, it's uncomfortable, unintuitive, just bad. And no option for a virtual joystick, which is the way this game was intended to be played. In puzzles, you can't move the cursor unless you put your finger on it. That means you constantly cover the screen with your hand, so you can't see what your doing. Idk who thought this was a good idea, but that person surely never played a game on a touch screen device. I wish they've made a joystick + camera zone split controls, like basically any other first-person game does for phones/tablets. As of now this is simply unplayable, no way someone would enjoy the game like this. It feels like you're trying to play with each one of your fingers broken.

I don’t understand the acclaim for this game. It’s well done, but its main mechanic is the same puzzle over and over again, in endless iterations. There is no variety, no story, and the little bit of Myst-like environmental integration is negligible.

For people who are curious about the port (iPad Pro 10.5”): The controls are tap-to-move with a few details that make the game feel great to control. No issues there. The game looks really good for mobile. It looks low-fi compared to playing on PC, but the art style didn’t really suffer and the resolution is high enough that the game looks good (not native, but close enough). The framerate is rather poor though. I don’t think it ever holds a remotely steady framerate or ever even touches 30fps. From the looks of things, I don’t think there’s much more they could have done to make it run better short of sacrificing a lot more on the resolution and general quality side, so I won’t really complain too much (docked 1 star for it though because I would have at least liked the option for better performance even if it meant tanking the resolution). At least it’s not like the game requires super high responsiveness to play well. TLDR: It’s as good as you could expect a port of a 3D game to mobile could be, and the framerate is sub-30fps. For people who are new to the game: The Witness is a polarizing puzzle game to say the least. I like it a lot, but don’t want to go into much depth because most of what makes the game special for me is in spoiler territory. If you like tougher puzzle games, don’t mind being expected to experiment and explore with no real guide, and like things that are a little pretentious you’ll probably love this. If you prefer easier puzzles, a tutorial for every step of the way, a clear story, and a clear path, this might not be for you. *update Feb. 2024: Some pretty bad graphical artifacting makes this unrecommendable now.

I finished 100% the game on PlayStation last year and am impressed how the experience works on touch platforms. It’s fun to play it all again. For those comparing to Myst, believe me, it will take you a lot of work, let’s say to “completing” the game for you to realize the depth Blow has given us. No pixel is without purpose. But you have to change your POV, literally and mentally. I had some concern about navigation and your fingers obscuring the screen, but I managed to get used to it. However, it could make some of the more challenging parts of the game a bit awkward. Warning, this is a game you cannot look up answers, if stuck - move on, a transcendent experience awaits!
