Manifold Gardens is a conundrum. I enjoy the puzzles and the visuals, but I don’t love the process of finding the puzzles. Exploration is a good opportunity to see the stunning worlds, but their mind-warping architecture isn’t easy to navigate and it makes simply locating what you’re “supposed” to do frustrating. It’s an unavoidable byproduct of the Escherian worlds and perhaps the problem is in my drive to solve the next puzzle instead of merely sightseeing.
