Puzzles can be fun. Everyone's taken the stickers off a Rubix
Cube and rearranged them, there was the 8 month period when we all went apeshit
bananas for Sudoku and if you get me drunk enough and stick me at the beach
during inclement weather, I've been known to try my hand at a jigsaw puzzle.
But the "Spin the thing to change the animal showing" nature of Skyrim's puzzles isn't exactly putting
together a 2500-piecer with a wicked buzz on, and I could go the rest of my
life without zooming in on another claw to look at what animals are depicted
there.
You won't ever have that problem with Game of Thrones, as thusfar at least, the series hasn't featured a
single puzzle. Mysteries, conundrums, enigmas and artifices, sure, but not one
actual puzzle. The week that Game of
Thrones ends with the audience being asked to trial-and-error their way to
the next episode will be the exact moment I go back to that stack of Dune novels.
