In the very next sentence I say that they’re often not hard to figure out.

I get more of a “Ah, ok” rather than a “satisfying eureka moment”.

All through your post you are assuming I’m getting stuck or “don’t enjoy figuring things out”, which I find presumptuous and condescending. Because, I’ve not had much problem with the figuring things out. It’s more with the repetition. You get a rule, then you get a couple dozen puzzles with slight variations of that rule. It’s tedium.

And Order is sokoban. Just, like, a lot of it. And even what you could claim is clever gameplay in it is just cribbed from the games he implemented.

They’re average games. They’re ok. They are not mind-expanding journeys into the very nature of the meaning of puzzles.
