And if it’s Horizon Forbidden West:
Aloy out loud half a second after arriving:" I bet if I press the jump button while running, I can jump that gap."

She doesn’t break the fourth wall or mention buttons, but she does start yapping if you don’t solve the “puzzle” immediately. It’s presented as her thinking out loud to herself, but it’s telling you what to do. In God of War, it’s Atreus telling Kratos how to solve the puzzles.

The first few photons of a new puzzle hit Kratos’ retinas
Atreus: “You stupid fuck, why isn’t that geyser frozen already?!”

Hold up didn’t Lara croft from the classics did the same ?

Was there not a option to turn off the hints on some of them? So she wouldn’t tell you the solution. (I may also be thinking of another game.)

This is such an immersion breaking aspect of modern games and an absolute garbage approach. They’re idea is to not break the “flow” for the action players but for players that like puzzles it’s absolute horror. They just need to add during new game a “Puzzle hints” menu with Normal, Low and None.
“That rock looks fragile”, “Have you seen the rock next to the windmill? It has cracks in it”, “What if we shoot the rock with the ballista?” at those points I just want a “Shut up” option.
If I can’t figure out the puzzle myself it removes all satisfaction from solving it. I want to be confused, open up a journal that I need to skim through to get relevant information and then put the pieces together.
