Unfortunately Witness is different genre because the puzzles are mostly self-contained and exploration is not as necessary.
Myst and Riven are adventure-puzzle games, while Witness is almost pure puzzle game. (Likewise Talos Principle, but it has some story.)
Outer Wilds is action-adventure in that order. It does not allow the slow pace like Myst.
- m12k 7y agoI respectfully disagree on both counts. The puzzles in the Witness are linked - but instead of e.g. picking pushing a lever to help with another puzzle, you learn a new rule that will allow you to solve more advanced puzzles that combine the rules of several other puzzles. And the primary focus in Outer Wilds is not on action, but on exploration. And the way you learn about the history and technology of a previous civilization is quite similar to Myst.
