I'm not very smart...
Will I enjoy this game, I suffer even when trying to do simple addition and subtraction.

Afraid game might be too hard for my brain, is there difficulty setting?

Ha ha...

I don't think there will be any puzzles aimed at math, but being good at math will definitely help.

(This is a guess BTW :D)

Puzzles are usually made for logical thinking.
This game will, as far as I've understood, have over 650 puzzles so there will most likely be puzzles ranging from easy to barely possible.

Check out the trailer if you haven't already. Did you see those consoles where you draw a path on the screen? That's it. That's all you have to do to solve puzzles. I know that sounds crazy but it's actually a good thing because you will always know, to some degree, what's expected of you.

The Witness is a game about epiphanies. It's all about that feeling of seeing something you don't understand, letting your subconcious process it, and then finally having an "aha!" moment. The game will start with fairly easy to grasp concepts and it steadily builds on that. I have every confidence that you can finish the core game because it obviously interests you. There are a few very difficult puzzles (not all of which are required to finish the game) so it's really up to you how high the difficulty goes. If you enjoy those lightbulb moments though, by all means, keep pushing yourself to higher limits. And if you get stuck somewhere, just remember: you have a whole island to explore. Good luck.

Ha ha, so that is why you didn't get the game? (Jokes, I didn't even check)

You may have to ask a neuropsychologist about this. Different areas in your brain govern different tasks. Being bad at math doesn't neccessarily mean that you can't do any puzzles. By the way, statistically speaking most people are not very smart, nor truly stupid. Most of us are just painfully, painfully mundane and ordinary.

you're going to go insane watching people like lirik and towelliee play this game, this seems like the ideal game to watch dansgaming play if you're into the twitch stuff.

I read that the point you beat or finish the game is long before you 100% it, so I don't believe it'll keep the ending from us until we learn calculus.

No, that's just the only puzzles they have shown.

what makes you think you wont be able to play the game? You would be suprised what you can do if you put your mind to it you really would
