That's high on my list. It's fine if you do it occasionally but not so
much when you think am I actually playing the game or am I just
repeating what I saw in a YT video.

Do games generally have stupid hard puzzles these days? I've been
playing the 1997 Outlaws game and just puked through this whole puzzle
*level*. Water canals, swimming, diving, choking, fiddling with gates to
direct the water flow, loads of fun NOT. So I just followed a
walkthrough. Good thing is, as it's an old game the level is still
reasonably small.

Another puzzle that gave me trouble was the chess puzzle in the System
Shock Remake, mostly because I suck at chess. The other puzzles in there
were pretty easy although one time the lightning made it near impossible
to see the gauge you were supposed to set to some value.
