Re: The Talos Principle
I solved haircut in like 30 seconds. I thought it was ridiculously obvious and was kinda like "That's it?". Only tip would be to simply reduce the level to its elements. I worked backwards from the end point. There isn't a trick. The solution is really the only logical step.
Guess everyone's brain works differently. None of the main puzzles gave me problems beyond just thinking them through, mostly because they're 'closed' puzzles. By closed I mean, the number of objects/possibilities in the puzzle is ultimately limited and the solution is confined to exactly the number of resources presented to you. Unlike the stars, which I've come to realize.
I have 7 stars now, and can probably get a few more. Definitely going for 10 guideless so I can try the 5th world.
The only 'theme' I've noticed is getting objects out of levels or breaking the level to get on ledges. i.e. most of the stars appear to be 'open' puzzles.
The problem for me has been actually...just getting them out. World 3 for example. Three of the stars had solutions that were very obvious to me if you could remove items from a stage. What actually took me forever to do though, was getting items out of one of the levels. I thought they needed to come out of one level, spent eons trying to get the items out to no avail, only to end up getting them out of a different stage. Damn. Have all the stars in world 3 now though.
There's a star in world 4 that is a self evident 'open' puzzle where a box needs to be removed from the level. Good lord though I cannot figure out where to get a box though lmao.
Haven't tried the crater star because I've found the stars in world 2 are the worst in general. It's the only world I don't have any stars in. I think I know how to get them though because I almost got one of them by accident but then broke the level and got stuck and had to reset and decided to move on rather than resolve the puzzle. I'll try it tomorrow.
