The Witness, WORST video game ever!!!

First and foremost I have to say right off the bat, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!!! The Witness is the worst game I have ever played in my life!!! I got this game because it got all these great reviews and it"s a puzzle adventure game and I love these types of games. So far I have played this game for around 15 hours (played being the operative word here) more like sat there pushing buttons for 15 hours. The graphics are stunning in this game, I will admit that, that is why I will give it 1 star out of 10, but that is it!!! The story or lack of one is, you are on an island in the middle of an ocean and you have to figure out all these puzzles on the island. There are literally 300 puzzles to figure out. You start off in the dark and you see a white circle in the distance, that is the beginning, no introduction story just a black screen and a white small circle, so I sit there waiting for something to happen and nothing, so I use the controller and realize I can move forward towards the dot. It turns out I"m in some tube or sewer or tunnel, I get to the end where the circle is and come out onto an island. That"s the intro. There is one door and a few switches and wires running around to and from the switches. I flick the switches and the door opens and now I"m on a big island. I have a choice to go in a few directions, the island is open for exploring. I head left towards a shack, there is a switch there, a simple puzzle game, I figure it out fairly quickly and notice a set of 6 switches in a row, all the switches are essentially puzzles to figure out, you figure them out and something else turns on. So I figure out the 6 switches and I notice the power turns on somewhere, the cable running from the switch turns bright green and runs off into the distance. I follow the cable and I notice there are switches everywhere, but I follow the bright green wire, it leads me into a boat house and here are more switches. So essentially this game is just 300 switches that when solved slowly open up other areas. Some switches open doors, gates, passages, etc. etc. Now here is the big problem with this game and why this game SUCKS ROYALLY The switch puzzles at first are fairly simple but then they become more and more difficult. Which would not be a problem as in most games, players get phased in and learn the basics and than the game ramps up the difficulty. I don"t have a problem with that, like Tetris the pieces start falling faster. What I have a problem with is that in The Witness the puzzles change so much that you have no idea what to do at all, because there are no explanations or clues, it goes from simple puzzles to impossible puzzles and I have absolutely no clue how to even tackle them. For example, at first the puzzle games were just simple colors and you had to separate the colors and make it to the exit, ok no problem separate white from black shapes. BUT THEN they introduce other colors, like pink, red, yellow, gray etc. etc. Ok so more challenge separating the colors, that is until I waste 8 hours trying every combination of separating the colors and it doesn"t work, then you realize that some colors go with other colors in pairs to be separated. Of course nobody tells you that, only after 8 hours of wasting my time did I finally figure out that there is no possible way to do it by separating every color by itself. So I started pairing colors, still took 2 hours to figure out that pink goes with red, not black, not blue, not green not white. There is absolutely no guidance or rhyme or reason in this game. I found other puzzles that I had to guess which of the 16 points of the tree to select, no clue again, just trial and error, so finally I guess right and realize that this activated another 16 point tree further down, ok so I head to the next tree and guess same number as the first one, well it"s wrong and for being wrong the first tree shuts off too. So now I have to go back to the first tree, lucky I remembered which point it was, so I activate it again and walk to the second tree to guess again, wrong again, start at tree 1. Finally I guess tree #2, and then it"s on to tree #3, same thing, then tree #4, same thing guess, then 5, then 6. All trial and error and every time you guess wrong you start at the beginning. Pretty stupid if you ask me, no clues just trial and error. So after 15 hours of frustration with stupid switch puzzles, I find myself exploring the complete island and finding about 280 switches to figure out and absolutely no clue of how to do any of them. Now they have added colors and different shapes to the puzzles, which would be fine if you knew what to do with these shapes. I tried making patterns like the shapes and that does nothing. So basically I"m stuck on an Island with 280 obtuse, illogical, stupid, puzzles that make absolutely no sense to me. It"s like if you put puzzles in 280 different languages and expected me to decipher them all. It"s like having me figure out the whole rubiks cube, (which I have no clue how to do). Last night I managed to lock myself in one part of an island after a long puzzle completion that moved a bridge into another area. There was only one way out and it had 2 puzzles, I figured out the first one but couldn"t figure out the second one, I was going to be stuck on this little area of the island unless I figured out the puzzle, so I essentially sat there for 5 1/2 hours trying to figure out this stupid puzzle. Nothing made sense to me, so I decided to just try every combination in order, kind of like trying to find a four digit pin number by starting with 0000, then 0001, then 0002, 0003 and on and on to 9999. So 2 hours later the door opened, I looked at the solution and it still didn"t make any sense to me. Pretty sad. So I got out of the trapped area and now I"m back to the whole island. So all I can do is walk around from puzzle to puzzle, tinker around and just say I HAVE NO F"N CLUE!!! Nothing in this game makes any sense. THIS IS THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE!!! I have played difficult games before, games like Resident Evil 6 which I absolutely hated but it was for the lack of ammo, I knew what I had to do, I just had to go up against guys with guns with no ammo, I played games that had tricky puzzles, but you understood what you had to do, you just had to find a way to execute it. Well in The Witness I have absolutely no clue what I"m trying to accomplish with these puzzles. None of the puzzles make any sense, so basically everything is locked up and I can"t go anywhere, just wonder around the middle of the island looking at these stupid switch puzzles. This by far is the worst game ever. I HATE GAMES THAT YOU CAN"T DO ANYTHING IN, BECAUSE NOTHING EVEN MAKES SENSE OF WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. So I just wonder around lost for hours, and now just thinking about this game makes me so angry because you CAN"T DO ANYTHING IN IT. WORST GAME EVER, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME OR YOU WILL PUT YOUR CONTROLLER RIGHT THROUGH THE SCREEN. I GIVE IT 1 STAR OUT OF 10 I figure if I was going to manually figure out each puzzle by going 0000, 0001, 0002, we are looking at over 1200 hours for me to complete this game, as one puzzle last night took me 6 hours and it was one of the simpler smaller ones and I have literally 280 more to go. PATHETIC GAME DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME!!!!!!
