Th picture on the right is of the Sumeru Dune of Magma in the Hypostyle Desert. To even get access to this Dune, you have to direct light in a specific way and complete quests to get “clearance”. The best (read: most frustrating) part is that it’s only one part of a much larger puzzle in the entire area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For players who don’t like puzzles, new content feels like busywork because of all the gimmicks behind exploration. While the puzzles aren\u2019t always more difficult, it\u2019s going to require a lot of players to look up a guide to even remember all the equipable items that actually interact with the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you think? Are the puzzles becoming too complex or adding in too many gimmicks or do you like having to figure things out while exploring Teyvat?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
