    Agreed. I’ve played the game twice, once when it came out and the second when the DLC came out. Fortunately enough time passes, you can easily forget the puzzle solutions and just lose yourself in the world again.

      Man I wish. Those puzzles are ingrained in my skull forever.

        I think it’s fair to say that I would remember SOME things that took a lot longer to figure out the first time, but the specifics are gone that I still could not finish the game outright if I reinstalled it right now.

        Also I’ve had two kids since it first came out and my memory is shot so that helps too!
