StaceyPowers Posted June 5, 2024 Share Posted June 5, 2024 What are some puzzles in video games that you fought with for hours or days, but after you figured out the solution, it seemed painfully obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennysplash Posted June 14, 2024 Share Posted June 14, 2024 It happens to me often, not only in games but even in life generally. You will wonder how you managed to miss the obvious answer that was right in front of you. But that is what makes gaming all the more exciting.

Scorpion Posted October 4, 2024 Share Posted October 4, 2024 Definitely had a moment like that with *The Witness*. After solving one of those line puzzles, I couldn't believe it stumped me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOn Posted October 6, 2024 Share Posted October 6, 2024 In Portal, I get stuck on the puzzle and i was overcomplicating it . what it really needed was different portal permutations. Finally, I realized the solution was simple. It was embarrassing but yes it was also a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted October 8, 2024 Share Posted October 8, 2024 I spent days thinking how to switch the correct sequence and what water level is correct in Ocarina of Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 9, 2024 Share Posted October 9, 2024 One puzzle that comes to mind is the water temple in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I spent hours trying to figure out the water levels and missed an obvious switch. Once I found it, I couldn't believe how simple the solution was.
