He discusses how many of the issues he faced could be solved with the most simple solution, saying, “There were many times where my answer to a challenge was, ‘I\u2019ll just build a really, really long bridge,’ and it almost always worked.”<\/p>

Park focuses heavily on the sense of creativity and building your own solution, saying “The experience is dense with the sense of accomplishment. Almost every puzzle gave me self-satisfaction and pride in how I tackled it.” He compares the experience to Minecraft<\/em>, saying that game introduced the elements to create at will and TotK<\/em> combines them with unique animations and polish.<\/p>
