They are not great games.

Especially in The Witness where there are times where failure of a puzzle forces you to re-input previous puzzles. Or there are a couple of dozen of the same puzzle with only minor variation with the same rule. "Yes, I can draw an L", "Yes, I can draw it backwards", "Yes, I can draw it and a cube, truly a masterfully built puzzle".

Tell me you haven’t played a game without actually telling me you haven’t played it.

Because I have a different opinion I couldn’t have played the game?
