Editor review
Wizard Tower commits to puzzle variety in a way most adventure games do not. Each of the fifteen floors uses a different puzzle type; theres minimal mechanical repetition; the player must figure out each floors logic from scratch. This is a deliberate design choice that some players will love and others will find frustrating.
The puzzle variety is the format. Floor 3 is element-manipulation (fire melts ice, water freezes in cold); floor 7 is illusion-deciphering (some objects are visible only at specific angles); floor 11 is creature-pacification (lure a guardian away from the staircase). No two floors share their mechanic.
The hint system is the games concession to puzzle-format diversity. With each floor presenting an unfamiliar mechanic, getting stuck is easy; the freely-available hint preserves progress without trivialising the challenge. Adequate for puzzle-variety enthusiasts.
