The witness is actually a game I wouldn't recommend very much. It's very pretty but the game was frustrating because there's 0 story whatsoever. There's like bonus clip things you can find/solve but they're too abstract to give a shit about. The puzzles are decent though, so if that's all you're interested in, go for it. But if you're expecting to like explore and discover secrets of a cool island, you'll be sorely disappointed.

I would recommend the talos principle instead! The story, while kinda pretentious and philosophical, is at least present and interesting. And there's a wider variety of puzzles which I really enjoyed. And it's cheaper than the witness! It's not AS pretty as the witness but it has some cool visual moments, but I still think it's a way better game overall
