I'm curious, what drives you to replay a puzzle game when you know all the solutions? Wouldn't you rather play something new like the Rhem series, Harvester, A New Beginning, Submachine, Yesterday etc? I can understand with a fps because you can change the difficulty but why this genre?
@Joseph-xe1ry I revisit my favorite games after a long enough time that I don't remember the solutions exactly. The main reason I solve the puzzles faster is not so much direct memory of the answers but rather an acquired fluency that makes it actually more enjoyable than the first time around. Moreover, this is what I prefer to play during hangouts, when the game is only getting half my focus while the other half is given to chat discussion and drinking. That being said, as much as I've played the ReThink games, I've only played each one once on stream. There are just a lot of them. As far as other games go, I will play them, but only during "regular" streams (i.e. no hangout) so I can give them my full attention. I did play Rhem II this year, I just haven't gotten to uploading that part of the archive yet.
