A lot of reviewers compare this game to The Witness, which I agree with, sort of. The premise of this game starts simple: solve the puzzle, then the next, then the next, and so forth. Then, they start adding new elements to each puzzle, a new guideline, a new obstacle, a new pattern. Can be difficult at times, but it never felt impossible. At its core, it's just like The Witness.

I personally think the overall environment and tone is where this game shines and separates itself from similar games. Everything just fits together well. The atmosphere, while lonely, isn't oppressive. The music fits perfectly.

As far as games of this type, Taiji is definitely one of the better ones. I haven't beaten all of it, still have a few hidden puzzles to go, but I'd say this is a definite recommend. This game is best played a few hours at a time, without having to think too hard. I took notes, but you don't have to.
