Do I suck, does this game have really well designed puzzles,

Some are, and some aren't.

If you're having trouble already then you may as well just fucking stop now, there are some incredibly precise execution based puzzles coming up. The jumping on the engine thing is directly told to you via something in the mines, but I haven't played Alundra in 2 years.

I would strongly recommend having a guide handy when playing Alundra though. Many of the puzzles are really ridiculous to solve.

I would actually advise not playing it, since I found it incredibly frustrating.

The hint for the engine gives you the wrong pattern for the switches and tells you to "shake things up", so I was assuming they meant to "shake up" the pattern they were giving.

Turns out they meant "randomly press shit until you figure it out and then jump on the engine TWICE". What the shit?!

I'm always disappointed in Zelda games because they only ever scratch the surface of their possibilities, both in terms of combat and puzzles, even Master's Quests don't go far enough, so I thought Alundra would be the perfect game.

Alundra's combat is bad. Enemies require too many hits.

Alundra's puzzles are fucking ridiculous to solve either by virtue of being insanely difficult, or by having twitch execution.

The first part gets alleviated once you get better weapons and magic (3 castings of the Fire Book kills the final boss iirc) or getting the Hero Sword, but until that point the game is a massive fucking slog.

Okay, now I know which it is.

This game's puzzles suck. Turns out I had the the right combinaison here, except you have to do it backwards?!

Well I'm sorry but when I'm told about "teachings mattering more than others" I go from the one which matters the least to the one which matters the most, who would do the contrary?! When you acquire knowledge you don't start with the hardest do you.

>The things that matter most are the hardest
Yeah you should definitely give up

But we're talking about listening to "teachings" here. When you go to school, you don't start at the university to end at elementary school.

They're good. Yes the jumping is frustrating. Get good.
