In 2008, game developer Jonathan Blow released Braid, which proved to be a major success for him. His follow-up
game, The Witness, actually piqued my
interest on the premise of it being a puzzle-based game taking place on an
island in homage to Myst. When the
game finally came out in 2016, I was one of many who was turned off by the
initial $40 price tag, though I still kept track of the game on digital
platforms to see when it would reach a good discount. I ultimately ended up finally
playing the game when it became available for free for PlayStation Plus members
in March 2019. While I did feel the 3-year wait was worth it, I overall have
mixed feelings about my experience.
