IBBoardI have no idea what I was doing, what the next step is, or where to go from here.
Yep, definitely a Myst series game 😐
(I think I missed some bits because the hand on the pillar doesn't light up fully. But I have no clue what I missed. Or where)
Uru was made with the design direction of "Make a game with the most obtuse and inscrutable puzzles possible, and then give it an impractical and irritating control system". Change my mind.
Uru is a masterpiece of "What if we made the puzzles dependent on you noticing things in the environment AND gave you such janky camera angles that they won't be out-janked until Assassins Creed!" 😐
Finally finished the main bit of Uru (not the expansions). Lots of hints required this time.
I think the main failing (other than the controls… and the camera angles) is that they changed from "an environmental puzzle game" to a "did you remember this bit of the story that is no longer just interesting narrative but is actually vital clues".
Like… dude?! Did you expect me to remember the name of some random character who projects a message once really early on? I had NO CLUE that she was the one narrating bits of it. I thought it was some god-entity in the special spiritual room! 😐
