I base these two categories on how the players interacts with the puzzles in the world.
Featuring dynamic water, weather, lighting, foliage, and more, realMyst: Masterpiece edition was an undeniable leap forward from the original Myst experience, providing fans their first opportunity to actually explore every nook and cranny of the Ages. Despite the article’s title, I don’t like to call them puzzle games, as puzzles in both categories can be in a variety of genres, with the puzzles being just another challenge offered to players, without them being the core of the experience-take the Resident Evil franchise for example, the first and latest titles heavy on complex puzzles but not their defining feature. Released in 2014, realMyst: Masterpiece Edition moved Myst from point-and-click to a fully navigable graphical experience. Here are all the ones Ive written so far.
With those two in mind, I’d like to talk to you today about two other categories, but these are the ones in which I separate the games that feature these puzzles. Reviews of Commercial Games Since I write games, Im interested in how other people write games - even the massive CD-ROM art-fests that Ill never be able to produce on my own.When I play a commercial adventure game, I try to write a detailed review of it. Last week I spoke of the two categories I separate puzzle design into, those being the story driven ones, the ones with a close tie to the game’s narrative and game universe common sense, and the challenge driven, those placed in the game just to give players something meaty to bite into, often tied to the game’s plot by theme rather than adhering to the plot, the locations, the character’s common sense, etc.
