  • Isles of Sea and Sky Part 2 - there's a reason I waited three years for this game. It's great to have an open world game with genuinely smart puzzles, interesting twists, and cryptic but fair secrets. Don't ever think you have this game figured out, it will keep innovating!

    Tyler, This game has a "Streamer mode" setting that adds a nice place to put your facecam.
    Also, the mini-islands seem to mostly have puzzle mechanics that don't play well with other mechanics.

      But you are likely too late. Tyler usually playthrough the whole game in seemingly one sitting and then upload the edited video in schedule. Which means by the time you've watched the first episode he might have already beaten the whole game and can't take any feedback.

    I really wanted to enjoy this game more than I did. The first several worlds were quite decent but the ice world is just tedious and frustrating, which seems to actually be a pretty common opinion, judging by the Steam forums. Simply navigating the ice world, let alone solving its puzzles, is excruciating and I got stuck even advancing because there's a screen I need to reach but it can only be reached through a tedious puzzle where you can't easily tell if you've made a mistake until much later in the puzzle, thus forcing you waste a lot of time completely resetting the puzzle.

      @AliceErishech 4 місяці тому

      @@zaneomega2 Yeah, trying to line up some of the chain explosions there was kind of tedious too. Though my biggest complaint on that island is the statues puzzle. The dev has fixed it now but I ended up having to look up the solution since the room you couldn't reach at the time made it seem more like I was just missing some important info. That seems to have been a significant issue for a lot of people and seems like evidence that the dev didn't have a significant amount of playtesters. In cases like that, what's obvious to the dev is often not nearly as obvious to others.
      I also haven't been able to figure out the puzzle to obtain the rune stone on the small island Tyler visited in this episode. From what I've read on the Steam forums, it's supposedly possible without any powerups but I've spent like an hour and a half across several play sessions trying to figure it out and it just seems impossible. I'm not sure if the ice island's equipment will be any help but the other three pieces of equipment don't seem to have any effect on it either.
