I can get bored very quickly by puzzles. Especially when they are the whole game. Her/Hex being a great example. First time I played the series, I completed all four games from start to end and enjoyed every moment of it. But I've found trying to replay Hexen I & II to be very difficult. I've been on the second level of Hexen I for months now and when I get back into it, I will find the next piece of the puzzle and you get a message saying 'One 7th of the puzzle has been completed'. But when you get far into the game you lose count of how many buttons you've pressed. It turns into a grinder where you end up looking everywhere for the next button because there are no clues.

Hexen II is much the same, albeit with more clues and purpose of the puzzles. But this video sums it up perfectly.

Vork won't like me saying ill about his favourite games. But I can say again that I did enjoy them first time playing them. The first game is the one I would most likely easily play again. It's little more than DOOM clone but the enemies are unlike any other, in that they are extremely difficult. Nothing in DOOM or Dark Forces compares to the Maulotaur. Even a common enemy like skeleton axe guy is stronger than the Cacodemon and Kell Dragon (in a way).
