As of the Jan 17 the game is effectively broken The about 20 of the geometry on screen is pulsing in brightness very distracting Unless this gets fixed the money spent on the game was a complete waste     Broken Rendering Grateful-Dave

The Witness runs well on my Early 2008 Mac Pro nvidia GeForce GTX 680 at 2560x1600 resolution This is under El Capitan The island is so huge that when you get stuck on a puzzle there are plenty of others you can find and solve The island is stunning and you can walk to most places solving only a few puzzles Solve more and more places open up When you find the dock you can summon the boat The boat will take you on a tour around the island You can stop at any of the places where another dock is present The tour itself is worth the price of the game There are subtle in game hints but no instructions or cheats for solving the line puzzles You can find some of those at YouTube where folks have left their evaluations The Witness lets you play on any of your Macintoshes under your Apple ID Play on one Macintosh quit the game login to another macintosh and continue where you left off Sweet                     Runs on Early 2008 Mac Pro nvidia GeForce GTX 680 JohannesRexx

Beautiful graphics don t make a great game All the puzzles are the same mazes with slight differences Difficulty is acheived by making the mazes bigger and throwing in some rules to adjust how you follow the maze After about 60 of these mazes your not looking forward to moving around the scenery to solve more mazes The two stars are for the graphics only If you want thought provoking fun puzzles buy The Room series or drag up an old Myst game Worst of all this game cost 43 bucks The Room series is a third that for 3 games There appears to be no story there may be some lame reason for playing this game but you ll probably not have a clue until your finished Very dissapointed         Nice to look at Boring to playy MYST Mourner

Really good game but Running on a Macbook pro 10 1 Worked fine for a couple of weeks and then just won t start This splash screen come up appearts to start loading and this just flashes Game never loads completely Tried reinstalling No good Oh also There is no support page Now way to report problems or get help     Stopped Working Jlbooher

The game has wonderful landscapes but for little effect All the puzzles are variations on a theme which become boring and tiresome quickly In addition there is little within these vast landscapes to interact with This feels like a standard puzzle game the developers attempted to elevate to something much more but in the end it s basically just a puzzle game without much of a story or a purpose behind all the visual eye candy Without that sense of greater purpose the rationale for persisting through the endless repetitive puzzle variations wains The game is okay but I was hoping for a modern Myst and left a little wanting             Left a little wanting DocSalchow

I m going to try not to seem overly melodramatic in my enthusiasm Just hear me out Forgive my haphazard ramblings I get excited Do you live for aha moments Do you love thinking about complex existential questions Do you pride yourself in your tenacity to work at a challenge until it s complete Then boy is this the game for you The Witness is simply put a pure work of art The graphics are breathtaking and the gameplay is smooth the only bugs I encountered was when I ran too fast and too far I couldn t access certain areas logging out and back in fixed this easily Of the many things this game teaches you I think it all boils down to perspective Sometimes the key to life is looking at things from a certain angle you can only see beauty and order through the right glass It s the same thing with the design of this game And the puzzles it s hard to fully capture in words Maybe it seems silly that all these lines and dots and shapes could teach you something important about yourself But that s what this game does It shows you how incredibly capable your own mind is convinces you of your own adequacy in reasoning and understanding When you look back on the puzzles you ve solved the ideas you ve taught yourself through trial and error and just a dash of luck you realize this ability to obtain solutions through logic and intuition doesn t just apply to funny line games but to your life You see the brilliance in your soul Perhaps this all sounds like gibberish to you Heck maybe I m just crazy and sleep deprived and this is gibberish But don t let me tell you go experience it for yourself Because that s how we learn isn t it By experiencing I think this game teaches you that too Now you likely have some reservations as I did before purchasing Forty bucks is a lot for a game so I m going to give you some brief assurance friendly advice First before you do buy it know your own interests For example I am a very very introspective person juggling metaphors and abstract ideas is appealing to me Also though I m a tad ADHD I m quite stubborn when it comes to a problem I can t solve even it means switching rapidly back and forth between puzzles I work at something until it s done If you re not a philosophical person or you don t enjoy enduring the excruciating agony of learning for the sake of triumphant music the learning itself and more triumphant music satisfactory solutions then you may not like this game as much as I did Second when you are playing be patient with yourself I m no genius and as a busy high school senior cramming in extra video games on the weekends this took me exactly two months to complete and I still have several side puzzles left to go This will take time and you need to allow yourself to go slow explore think It s how this game is designed to be played Third and finally some tips I wished someone had told me don t worry no spoilers or anything 1 If you re stuck on a puzzle leave it Go to another part of the island and explore try something different you may stumble on an easier version of the puzzle you were trying to do originally 2 No idea is too outlandish Even if you think something won t work try it anyway 3 As a challenge to yourself this is what I did and I think it really helped me get the most of this game don t use any walkthroughs cameras or scratch paper Recognize your own limitations and push them You ll be all the happier for it To conclude my extraordinarily long review I ve heard some people call The Witness pretentious and overly intellectual Personally I firmly believe that couldn t be further from the truth At its core it doesn t put intellectualism on a pedestal and make it shiny polished and unreachable Rather it sees the searingly human capacity to learn and makes it real poignant and attainable Forty bucks is quite little to pay for a lesson so priceless                     This Game Will Change Your Life CoffeeFanatic17

It s just too much of the same puzzle or slight variations of the same puzzle over and over Maybe it builds up to something more but I stopped playing midway bored by the repetition None of the screenshots show that in each of those scenes you find numerous puzzles similar to the game s icon that must be solved The environment has nothing to do with the actual gameplay other than giving you something to walk through on your way to the next set of puzzles And I get that maybe I didn t play it long enough that some payout may have awaited me if I d only been patient enough But I lost interest The developers didn t create enough interest or diversity to make slogging through the same puzzle worth the effort             Too Much of the Same Note hughbd

Attempted numerous to load and open but it wont work I have the right system update and enough memory This app just doesn t work     app wont open Jdj37

This is one of my favorite games ever but the mac version does well at all The iOS version runs better on my iphone6 the lighting flashes consistently and shadows freak out Realy too bad Im going to try for a refund on this buy     How disapointing CowForCow

I like it Not too difficult I have enjoyed similar mystery games but they were too short and sometimes seem like it is dumb luck getting the solution this title plays like it is just your good sense figuring it out                     Got time to play patience intelligence and vigilance Hondo Ace

I m playing on a MacBook Pro A1398 i7 Late 2013 16GB of RAM and using a NVIDIA GeoForce 650 Graphics Card and it did well on Medium graphics with just a few slow downs High graphics was even better detail although with a few delays as well If you leave your computer the fans tend to turn on signaling the computer is a bit getting overworked I did well to try all the various games and pass on the tougher ones I finished 146 of them in about 20 hours out of around 600 games mazes according to IGN before giving up These maze games are pretty ingenious There s all kinds of stuff hidden in plain sight if you are persceptive Me not so much The environment is amazing and reminds me of great adventure games on video game platforms I just checked the IGN walkthrough and there is so much left to do Wow                     Excellent Game Patriotsfan45

For me this is in the top 5 games of all time                     Like being sucked into LOST Timothy Nold

No METAL so no The Witness I had the right OS version enough processor speed RAM but my Mac Mini is not on the list that Metal can be installed on it and without Metal The Witness won t play Darn I really wanted to play it oh well ya live ya purchase and ya learn 40 bucks gone         I got stuck with it TooDollars

Hey Guys thought my computer supported metal turns out it didn t Downloaded the Nvidia link you suggested made no difference What do you suggest I do             Nvidia link made no difference Royalhassel

I ve only solved about 60 puzzles so far but it has been running just fine As others have mentioned it is slow to load but it runs beautifully at full screen resolution on my MacBook Pro 2015 with max graphics settings Update Now I have finished over 400 puzzles and completed the game This game is beautifully well done and has an increible amount of content I wasn t able to solve every puzzle but the ones I missed turned out not to be necessary for completing the game Many of the puzzles are easy once you get the hang of it but some are very hard even purposely exasperating Don t give up The feeling of breaking into new areas after solving tough puzzles is very rewarding I made the mistake of tackling the town area first but those puzzles are based on puzzles eslwhere on the island so I had to come back to some of them later after I had been through the rest of the island and learned how to do those puzzles                     Great fun so far updated EEK47

I want to play this game so badly and paid 40 for it and it won t play on my computer I DID check the list and my computer was on that list I m not totally computer savvy obviously but for an average joe I check the list and it looks good The list showed El Captain 10 11 6 is supported and my computer has that I think there should be some other way to see if you game will play without paying 40 dollars for it I have never heard of apple metal but figured my computer would have it if it is on the list Is there a way i can possible get my money back or atleast a credit I just threw 40 dollars into the wind Very disappointed     Threw 40 away disappointed ThisIsMadness!!

I m having the same problem as wstrohm in that the game is entirely monochromatic in red I haven t gone far enough to encounter his other issues I have a GTX 980 Ti graphics card I m wondering if it s somehow related I ve also found that it displays nothing at all at any resolution other than display size I ve heard it suggested that I m seeing red because the game is being driven in 3D Vision mode even though there is no such set up on my machine I d love a resolution to the issue but I haven t found one yet I m also rather unhappy that the support link above doesn t actually take you to a place you can seek support Best I can tell there is no way to contact the develpoment team to report this or any other issue         Monochrome for me too socref07

The Witness is amazing and and lush I puzzles creeped in complexity at a nice slow pace and it was just fun to run around and explore catch all the vistas and sights The sounds design in this game is amazing too I highly recommend wearing good headphones as you walk around especially as you clamber around the shipwreck Also ride the boat under the shipwreck and hear the echos off the hull Totally worth the 40 I ve finished the game but there is still extra puzzles strewn about that I haven t gotten to and am having fun completing                     Beautiful immersive atmosperic and zen puzzle exploration game colinaut

Very nice game design Yes the puzzles are the same type pretty much through the whole game but the are very challenging and rewarding when you finally figure out the rule for that particular puzzle Just the landscape alone and area to explore is amazing and very immersive This is not one of those games you get through in one or two days that s for sure Nice to see such a wonderful and challanging game I ll be look for more from this company                     Awesome TJTrout

This game was easily my favorite game of 2016 The attention to detail and placement of everything is impeccable The process of teaching you puzzles couldn t be better Best of all there is no hand holding You must figure everything out on your own                     Incredible Game ericditmer

The Witness is an open exploration game with beautiful visuals and fun puzzles and varied landscapes that you just itch to explore The only issue I find with the gameplay is that it doesn t explain the rules and requirements for certain gimmicks Though most are obvious and easy to learn on your own there are a couple gimmicks in the game that do not make logical sense and will frustrate a player uninitiated with the puzzle rules The other problem I had was the dropped FPS in numerous spots of the game examples of specific areas include the bamboo jungle the color swamp and the Monastery I have a Mac with a 3 1 Ghz Intel i7 Core Processor and 16 GB of RAM but as powerful as this desktop computer is I still experience framerate drops in this game Even when I set the graphics to the lowest possible quality all across the board there are still frequent lag spikes that will freeze the game for a second of two though still vastly less often then when I set the graphics to HD it is still a present issue no matter how you set the options I suggest for the developer to look into this some more and if this can be remedied then work on pushing an update of the game in the future Overall though The Witness is a great experience looking past the afformentioned issues Even if you get stuck on some of the puzzles the vast environment will compell you to explore as much as you can                 A Beautiful Game with Few Problems pamason1129

The Witness was fun on Playtation and I m glad I can put it on my laptop for airplane entertainment for memories of the old Myst days I m not a fan of some puzzle logic on the island or the timed ones later in the game Some are just too random or solutions a little too obscure trying random paths occaisionally will gret you more success than following any method you believe the puzzle points you to A few puzzles are just a relief when you get through rather than make you feel smart and don t look too deep The Witness is basically just a very complicated version of a Denny s kid s placemat maze but there s plent of time to be sunk here For 40 I believe you will get your money s worth                 MYSTical johnny on the spot

A simple type of puzzles made so sophisticated And clever It connects in so many ways with Myst yet it stands on its own way LOVE it Thank you for releasing it for macOS                     Unbelievable IveKo
