20 WTF Moments From Resident Evil 7
12. The Pathetically Easy Puzzles
One of the biggest complaints about RE7 is that the puzzles are just too damn easy. There are two that stick out in particular: having to change the clock in the Master Bedroom to match the same time (10:15) as all the other clocks in the house, and on-board the ship near the end of the game, you need to rotate three paintings to match the orientation of three identical paintings opposite.
It's clear that RE7 has dialed back the more challenging aspects of earlier games to appeal to a wider audience base, but Jesus Christ, these puzzles were so ridiculously simplistic they felt actively insulting. If this is the low-effort caliber of puzzles Capcom were happy to settle for, they really shouldn't have been included at all.
