Shrine: Takama Shiri Shrine: Dual Purpose (Champions Ballad, DLC Pack 2) You know this is a good shrine, because it has electricity, and because it is in the Champion's Ballad DLC. I'm thinking any shrine with electricity should get a couple Beauty points right away. This is a 3-puzzle shrine with a clever theme: you need to walk on some metal blocks, but the metal blocks also need to transmit electricity somewhere, hence the name "dual purpose". Very cool. The puzzles are Legitimate Puzzles. They're not hard, but they're clever. The second one has some Confusion factor because it's a very odd layout of blocks, and it's hard to see which directions they slide. The third one (the picture above) raises the complexity a bit, and the electricity needs to go somewhere else than where Link is going. Each puzzle definitely has several solutions--it's not about the solutions, it's about discovering the theme, and learning the new ways to think about it. It reminds me of Portal 1, where the solutions are really the mechanics you're learning, not the specific places to put portals. So, giving it Multi-Solution points. Just generally well-designed! --- People who don't finish their sentences I'm a Castlevania superfan! Ask me anything! <cite>Epyo posted [p:945456166] in Epyo's Top...
