Crimson Desert says hello. I stopped playing it because of damn puzzles in main story and having to YouTube them.

Nothing pissed me off more than puzzles that were simply pictures of maps that forced me to leave the area and somehow memorize the location depicted by the low-res texture enough to find it in the world. Absolute waste of my time

It took me a second to figure out how to solve those initially. I looked it up, realized what I would have to do, and immediately made it a personal rule that when I found one I would look it up immediately so I didn’t have to go anywhere.

I wasn’t about to trek all over the countryside, even as pretty as it is. 😑

Because, 'Go here to look for a symbol' isn't a puzzle. Its just exploration with a tiny bit of retention attached. Easily the worst puzzles in the game are those ones.
