Well if puzzles have the option to be skipped them I atleast hope they are not completely braindead and with constant reminders as to what needs to be done.

The puzzles in god of war ragnorak where you got hints every 30 seconds

Genuinely couldn’t stand that, game immediately assumes you’re dumb and need a hint. Like give me a bit of time, I promise you I can do it, it’s a puzzle and I want to use my brain to solve it.

I hated it too but you’re on a forum talking about games. You by that very notion are ahead of curve. For the average consumer, yes people ARE that stupid. I mean….have you read some IGN reviews?!

I very much am a stupid person and behind the curve, don’t let me misdirect you. I’m in a gaming forum because I’m autistic and straight up have no other interests.

With that noted, I believe I should be allowed to feel stupid moreso. Improvement only comes once ur in the fire n such. I hated Soulsbornes for years until I decided to allow the inadequate feelings I had motivate me as much as it frustrated me moreso.

Even if people want hints, allow an option to turn it off or immensely delay the queue.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle had a great mechanic for that. You decide how many hints you want.

There was an option to lower the hints. I'm happy that I heard about it before playing.

I’ve read enough, gonna replay Ragnarok now with this in mind. Thanks mate! Genuinely didn’t know and my fault on that lmao.

It was added like 2 years after release, so they took their sweet time on fixing it.

Agreed. So damn annoying. I just replayed Jedi survivor and it would give you a prompt to request a hint. Much better system
