HINTS (menu option): ON or OFF?
Hi guys. I noticed that the menu offers the HINTS option (I hope I translated it well).

Should I turn these tips ON or OFF?

I would like to understand what the game means by "hints"... do they explain functions of the game itself and what you can do (like the possibility of throwing and spinning objects)... or are they a sort of "easy mode" to make the puzzles easier (explaining so all things that can also be reached by logic)?

Long story short: for the best experience, do you recommend me to put them ON or OFF?

They tutorial the controls and basic gameplay items. Examples at the very start of the game:

I don't recall them making puzzles easier. I can't remember anymore if even are any hints beyond the very beginning of the game. I don't remember being annoyed about spoilers to puzzles.

I'd have them ON.

Note that Death Hints can be toggled separately. Those give you a hint when you die how to do better next time. Sometimes they are kind of poetic, sometimes direct, if I remember right.
