Solved without Hints - an IFDB Poll
by joncgoodwin
RSS FeedI'm very interested in hearing truthful accounts of at least somewhat difficult games (or games that don't solve themselves at least) solved completely without recourse to hints, walkthroughs, etc.

When virtually every long-form game I'm ever likely to write has a sidekick NPC in it, this game (and not the usual suspect) is why." ( ) --Ghalev... (No comment) [+](No comment) () --Spike...
