Jonathan Blow helped lead this wave of acclaimed indie games with the time-bending platformer Braid back in 2008. His next game, The Witness, is what happens when one of gaming’s most peculiar indie developers gets a blank check to do whatever he wants. The Witness asks you to solve a series of genuinely clever puzzles, typically about drawing lines inside mazes. Each puzzle is presented as terminals on a mysterious explorable island that’s a philosophical puzzle in and of itself.
