I’m still playing through Skyward Sword (that game is way longer than it should be) and I’ve actually been stuck a handful of times. At one point I was stuck for a good hour. Which is quite shameful. It got me thinking about all those times in video games when I was just completely puzzled for hours, sometimes days.
In hindsight old school adventure games are easily the worst. Monkey Island 2 was probably the biggest offender. The spitting contest puzzle, using an actual monkey as a monkey wrench. Half those puzzles just don’t make any bloody sense at all!
What about you guys? What puzzles in games had you absolutely, pulling your nostril hairs out in frustration, stuck?
