For players who enjoy finding a way through. Reviews praise exploration that involves studying terrain for routes and hidden paths.
What makes it fun
Find the path to the chest
A chest may be visible on a cliff but unreachable from where you stand. Trace the ledges backward and the route may start somewhere farther away. Exploring the terrain becomes a puzzle of its own.
Find an opening in combat
Different enemies call for different openings. Watch their behavior and the terrain, then use melee and ranged attacks as the situation demands. Figuring out how to land a hit makes combat feel like solving a puzzle.
See how the pieces connect
Familiar puzzle devices pose new problems when their layout and interactions change. The payoff comes when the sequence makes sense and the path opens.
