It was brain destroying watching him have his character in the correct spot for a second or two, only for him to not realize he solved it and then go and get stuck in a corner.
In many scenarios, there're literally only two possibilities. You either head left or right. Hands down for most frustrating video of the year.... for now :/
The number of times he solved a problem and then unsolved it is also infuriatingly high. Ryan playing puzzle games is bad for my health, but I derive an odd sense of enjoyment from watching him graze the solution.
NL is the best person to play your puzzle game. I can personal guarantee that he will infuriate at least one person so much that they will buy your game just to see if it's really as hard as he makes it seem.
and then when he actually literally has the solution...he moves past it instantly to try other methods until he goes back to the solution he already had
I had to stop watching that one after a few videos. I mean just too many "why'd you reset it, next turn it would have been solved" alternating with "why'd you do that, you had it solved a turn ago" with a generous helping of "you tried that multiple times already and it didn't work then" sprinkled in.
The amount of times in this video where he has the solution he needs on screen but he just doesn't notice and moves the knight is... I've never been so entertained and so frustrated at the same time.
"I feel like Lisa Simpson trying to solve the back of the cereal box puzzle." Man, I've thought of that pretty much every puzzle game he does. Specifically Ralph watching and going "But you're suffering."
Both directions work at that point. How can he not see it... I mean, for other puzzle games, I kind of see how he got struck. For this game, at least in the first few levels, it looks super straightforward.
"If you ever saw me play a puzzle game before, you know it is a dangerous place for me to be". I'm sorry, but that's a dangerous place for everyone else to be as well.
Damn, another ad for a puzzle game that I am obligated to buy. Curse you NL and you’re procedural solving of puzzles slower than I can imagine them being solved!
The last puzzle would require you to rip the entirety of the red knight's cape, and then use the red knight to tear the blue knight's cape over the remaining puddle
There really needs to be a name for the NL phenomenon of making you want to buy the game so badly just so you can beat the puzzles that NL is always an inch away from figuring out. I feel like every puzzle game I own is from watching you be so close yet so far.
@@Northernlion This phenomenon seems similar to the "armchair expert". People would rather yell at a TV than do anything themselves. Atleast you get some audience engagement out of it, maybe not the kind you want though.
This is the first time I've been tilted by NL playing a puzzle game. "It's harder than it looks" he says... ...but when you can figure out the solution with your eyes, is it really harder than it looks? Still, great vid by my beautiful Northern Kitty.
In this video, the answer is literally always "just do what you're doing but from the other direction"... except when the answer is "you've already solved it, you just haven't noticed"
Solution is A-B. Tries B-A. Tries A-B by accident in order to get back to trying A-B again, but misses that it's correct. Proceeds to try A-B and A-C and C-A 5 times in a row. Gets back to A-B by smashing the controls. "Ohh!" I really love NL's content but sometimes his brain is as smooth as his dome.
Hey McDonalds, could you stop serving other people food after I eat? How am I meant to get anything done when I willingly walk into your store despite having obligations!
This is probably the most egregious Lion Blind montage I've seen in a while. Like usually I can forgive him because he's recording/streaming. But there's long periods of time where he just quietly stares at the puzzle or has literally solved it and just undoes everything. Or where he just does the same thing repeatedly and gets frustrated. I know this could describe literally any NL puzzle game video, but this one just feels so much worse. God damnit, I love you NL. You're the only person that can make me scream at my monitor like this and still give you a thumbs up.
6:22 please 9:05 egg 10:05 ... 12:35 At this point he is trolling the audience 12:57 he even pauses 13:47 God 14:35 This is not a normal human being 14:53 Alright boys, he is just trolling 15:22 there are no words 15:28 Alright someone need to clockwork orange NL into watching this video back over and over until we find out what is wrong with him. 16:46 Alright I'm buying the game 19:30 Does he not have eyes? Is he not looking at the screen? 21:50 So he JUST learnt the "coming from the opposite direction" thing?!?! 22:50 This is the tutoriao tutorial tutorial, NL actually has mental issues
Oh man, I love NL trying a puzzler. I was actually looking at this game on Steam and held off, hoping you would play it. Edit: Looks like this is another purchase for me. While I agree that your puzzle solving is sometimes frustrating, it's also such a thrill when it finally clicks into place for you, and that reminds me how much I love puzzle games.
NL, I don't mean this in a bad way, because, quite frankly, I love it. Something in your brain is switched to tell you there are obstacles in places they are not. It makes you play safe in games that you could be a little more lax on, which is wonderful. All fine and dandy. But it is your end in puzzle games.
Ah, my yearly dose of agony and screaming at the monitor, the perfect dose, but in all seriousness, i actually like these videos, the HE'S DONE IT moments outweight the lionBlind Moments
It's unbelievable how many times he can try every single option over and over and over EXCEPT the one he needs to do to proceed. He does this every single puzzle game he plays without fail. Honestly not even mad, just impressed.
This video broke my brain all the way. I laught, i cried, it made me go all kinds of crazy. I actually began shouting at NL, like he could hear me. The number of times he already solved a problem without noticing... NL, dunno how you do it, but you made my day end very very weird. There goes all my sleep because of all the frustration...
I never thought I would see a man solve some part of a puzzle, stop to look and see if he's figured it out, and proceed to think he didn't solve it and mind flood himself
The amount of times he literally solves the puzzle but doesnt see it is infuriating. Like he just needs to look at whether the madame can make it to the end, but he just doesnt. I love you my precious egg; never change.
This was like one of those ads for puzzle apps that say “can you beat my mom’s high score?” and the video is them immediately failing on level 1. I love it.
I ve learned how to get entertained by NLs way to solve all puzzles)) You can get joy by watching how man get insane by don't understanding he solved his puzzle couple of times! That's pure enjoyment! I think next step for me would be masochism! Don't take this comment too serious NL, it's just for a bit! XD
"This is much tougher than it looks" - You aren't getting away with that excuse this time, its exactly as difficult as it looks, which is not very difficult at all. Maybe there is some truth to the ancient norse myth that intelligence is kept in the hair. EDIT: Okay you realized the algorithm at the end of the video for level1. EDIT2: But then you failed the tutorial for level 2....
Yeah right. Just watching I'm going, "no, it's exactly as tough as it looks, which is NOT hard." In fact it looks tougher than it actually is because I have to keep track of the correct positions in my head trying to solve it myself.
You know when someone is driving and the passenger makes angry arm gestures trying to show them how to do it properly in some vein hope that they'll suddenly become good? This is what it's like to watch NL play a puzzle game.
the first time I've ever yelled at an NL video was at 9:05. I made a strangled, gargling sound in my throat that continued unabated for several seconds before finally turning into a small laugh
i was flamed for commenting on the "comparing games to other games" in the title on dans video, but I want to make this clear: THIS title is perfect. I love it. I clicked on it. You didnt say this was the dark souls of whatever, didnt bait other games in this one. Thank you, you earned my like and view
He's such a good advert for these games. He basically has the solution every time but goes wrong at the end. Makes me buy it to prove to myself I wouldn't make the same mistakes. Top content Enelle.
The thing about puzzle games that aren't mechanically driven whatsoever is that "It's harder than it looks" doesn't really work... Keep up the good work, though.
Its a bummer that this puzzle game NL tries got downvoted. I was laughing pretty hard watching this, more than a lot of other NL content. The badness is part of the charm and its always fun having more varied types of games to watch, even if he isn't great at puzzle games.
I'm here for the entertainment value, but NL is a very intelligent person, but anyone watching him only play puzzle games might think otherwise. I hope this gets across as a simple humoristic observation and not insulting. Like at 9:05 where it's solved, but then he just decides not to do that.
This is NL's process for getting through puzzles: 1. Do the same thing over and over again, even though it's clearly not the solution. 2. Randomly find the actual solution, but don't realize it. 3. Repeat back to 1.
NL saying "There's no way" while literally standing in the spot of the solution is breaking my brain
9:05
@Jayden Furby 12:58 is even worse because I literally stopped reverting for a second
19:30
14:51
It was killing me dude.
Dignity preserved is the perfect phrase to end a NL puzzle level. i love it.
That's not what she's saying about NL; everyone screaming "You had it RIGHT THERE!!" at their monitors right now is evidence of that.
It was brain destroying watching him have his character in the correct spot for a second or two, only for him to not realize he solved it and then go and get stuck in a corner.
And you forget the best part, doing that exact thing again a few more times.
The number of times he solved a problem then proceeded to get stuck on an identical problem... It's insane
Ahhh this comment bodes well for this video.
In many scenarios, there're literally only two possibilities. You either head left or right. Hands down for most frustrating video of the year.... for now :/
The number of times he solved a problem and then unsolved it is also infuriatingly high. Ryan playing puzzle games is bad for my health, but I derive an odd sense of enjoyment from watching him graze the solution.
Or the number of times he was about to solve a problem and then reset.
@@mudora231 Someone didn't watch Death and Taxes
This made me want to throw my phone across the room more than any other puzzler he’s done so far. Signs of a good game
More than Baba is you?
Yeah, I can't watch this. haha
Baba is You is hair-tearingly bad in comparison XD
NL is the best person to play your puzzle game. I can personal guarantee that he will infuriate at least one person so much that they will buy your game just to see if it's really as hard as he makes it seem.
That's the idea. Delightfully devilish!
That's me brother
I think we can all see that it is not as hard as it makes it seem, but otherwise I agree with you entirely.
It’s worked on me a few times if that’s the case.
I'm about to buy it just to have the satisfaction of solving it easily
It's incredible how without fail, he can approach a problem with 2 possible moves, try one option like three times in a row then give up.
He gotta be acting it I mean it can't be for real...
@@Anesthesia90 But it is! That's what makes it so good.
10:06 i swear he is just teasing us
And the crowd goes wild at 10:36
and then when he actually literally has the solution...he moves past it instantly to try other methods until he goes back to the solution he already had
HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
At this point, I've come to accept that yes, he can keep getting away with it.
*Narrator voice* He did not get away with it.
May the puzzle it self decided
Oh no... Time to get angry again.
I am screaming at my computer again
This video is angry comment section's food
Literally me lol, YOUUUU HADDD IT YOUUU HADD IT NL 🙆♂️🙆♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️😡😠
The salt must flow.
I am so mad I am literally shaking
NL: "OH! Hold on!"
Me: "he's got it!"
Me: "No wait, he moved too far"
NL: "Just go _through_ the obstacle"
19:31 finally he’s figured out the move!
“Ok what I’m doing doesn’t make any sense”
Nooooo
I literally threw my fucking phone watching that.
Screamed hard!!
9:05 brother please you had the solution I got the Baba Is You shakes again
That one was painful
I had to stop watching that one after a few videos. I mean just too many "why'd you reset it, next turn it would have been solved" alternating with "why'd you do that, you had it solved a turn ago" with a generous helping of "you tried that multiple times already and it didn't work then" sprinkled in.
@@fallouthirteen And yet a year later you're still talking about it, which is very flattering.
@@Northernlion I love shady NL
@@Northernlion Yes, people pointing out a complete lack of awareness is defiinitely... flattering?
The amount of times in this video where he has the solution he needs on screen but he just doesn't notice and moves the knight is... I've never been so entertained and so frustrated at the same time.
The answer to the first 15 minutes of this video is basically just 'turn your dude around and take the same turns'.
TankorSmash first 25 mins*
It’s snakebird all over again
Yeah no 19 mins in are still very much stuck on just that.
"I feel like Lisa Simpson trying to solve the back of the cereal box puzzle."
Man, I've thought of that pretty much every puzzle game he does. Specifically Ralph watching and going "But you're suffering."
Watching NL play puzzle games is extremely fun and extremely infuriating at the same time.
19:30 NL: “What you’re doing here doesn’t make any sense” Narrator: “What he was doing, in fact, made sense”
I can’t tell if he’s really this bad at puzzle games, or if it’s a bit to tick us off for more engagement. Either way entertaining as hell egg.
If I could be that funny on purpose I wouldn't be wasting my time on TH-cam, I'd be wasting my time on NBC.
@@Northernlion top tier comment ryab
14:52 “No, there is no way that’s the case” but in fact that was actually the case.
Both directions work at that point. How can he not see it... I mean, for other puzzle games, I kind of see how he got struck. For this game, at least in the first few levels, it looks super straightforward.
NL solves every puzzle 5 times before he realizes it. It's truly a sight to behold.
"If you ever saw me play a puzzle game before, you know it is a dangerous place for me to be".
I'm sorry, but that's a dangerous place for everyone else to be as well.
ya if you're allergic to laughing
@@Northernlion I really hope you do realise that pretty much none of these are made with ill intent
@@Guzzlerinos Oh yeah, I absolutely love these ones. It's genuinely funny, no harm intended lol
Damn, another ad for a puzzle game that I am obligated to buy. Curse you NL and you’re procedural solving of puzzles slower than I can imagine them being solved!
Wait, he actually solved he puzzles instead of just stumbling into the solution?!
@@kylerivera3470 "Solve" is a loose term... He stumbled past the answers for 25 minutes and 43 seconds before finally giving up.
The last puzzle would require you to rip the entirety of the red knight's cape, and then use the red knight to tear the blue knight's cape over the remaining puddle
austin glover it’s impossible dude
No no no, clearly it's a bug in the puzzle design, they need to make the knight's capes longer.
It took me like 5 seconds to figure the answer
You can rip the red cape in either position, it just requires more backtracking if you rip it early
@@adriankuester4605 if you rip it early neither knight has enough cape to get the guy across.
Absolute torture. I couldn't even last 10 minutes.
I made it to 14 :)

There really needs to be a name for the NL phenomenon of making you want to buy the game so badly just so you can beat the puzzles that NL is always an inch away from figuring out. I feel like every puzzle game I own is from watching you be so close yet so far.
As long as there is a name for the phenomenon where I see 250 angry comments and check the leaderboards and see I'm in 17th place globally
@@Northernlion This phenomenon seems similar to the "armchair expert". People would rather yell at a TV than do anything themselves. Atleast you get some audience engagement out of it, maybe not the kind you want though.
Literally out of everything the thing that gets me the most is his refusal to try and tear the blue Cape in a level introducing Cape tearing
12:59 Literally has solution. Says we're gonna find solution. The comedic timing perfection.
Nl and the soft shell brain
This man is a triple treat to himself. Galaxy brain/lion blind/comedic timimg all make this the most impossible to watch.
Two minutes later, has walked over the solution 3 times, “why can’t you just stand in the bushes for 10 seconds!!!??”
10:04 He pauses. I think he's got it. He moves to the SAME spot he keeps moving to. This is why I watch.
The best part is when he solves it but doesn't realize it and then resets it
19:31 he says we need to solve it, "like so" and then doesn't move the lady when he has it solved! Don't make me buy this game NL
CopperAirplane I swear he pretends to be bad at puzzle games to enrage people into buying it
Oh no. This feeling. I thought the “Baba is You” arc was over!
This is so much easier than Baba is You though
Maiden on Mud and not Cape is Defeat, Cape is Pull, Knight is You, Maiden on Circle is Win.
This is the first time I've been tilted by NL playing a puzzle game. "It's harder than it looks" he says...
...but when you can figure out the solution with your eyes, is it really harder than it looks?
Still, great vid by my beautiful Northern Kitty.
In this video, the answer is literally always "just do what you're doing but from the other direction"... except when the answer is "you've already solved it, you just haven't noticed"
It's amazing to be able to have the solution but then not see it. Love the content as always NL!
Solution is A-B. Tries B-A. Tries A-B by accident in order to get back to trying A-B again, but misses that it's correct. Proceeds to try A-B and A-C and C-A 5 times in a row. Gets back to A-B by smashing the controls. "Ohh!" I really love NL's content but sometimes his brain is as smooth as his dome.
I already started screaming at my screen after 5 minutes, this must be a new record
"This is so much tougher than it looks, but you're not going to believe me." uhhhhh
Puzzle game developers sending free codes to NL is a god-tier marketing strategy. This was the most rage-inducing Northernlion Tries yet
"im starting to puzzle it out," he says, not starting to puzzle it out
NL, my guy, could you post less content? How am I supposed to get anything done when I'm watching you 5 hours a day?
Hey McDonalds, could you stop serving other people food after I eat? How am I meant to get anything done when I willingly walk into your store despite having obligations!
second monitor BAYBEE
On the very last puzzle: Rip off all of red's cape, then rip off blue's cape on the last puddle.
I just love how he can make a right move 10 times in a single level and still not see it.
Man, I love you and your content, but if I keep watching you playing "puzzle" games, I will have no hair left to tear out...
9:30 no it's not
In a way, I'm kind of jealous. He gets way more playtime out of these games than your average person.
My absolute favorite moments are when he HAS the solution and undos out of it 😂 Never change egg.
JUST TRY THINGS IN REVERSE
Never have I seen content so frustrating and yet so engaging. Keep it up, egg man.
"Puddle Knights is a minimalist PUZZLE....."
Me: "Oh no...'

This man may be the worst puzzle game player of all time. His extreme lack of skill had me completely mesmerized. 10/10 please make more.
This is probably the most egregious Lion Blind montage I've seen in a while. Like usually I can forgive him because he's recording/streaming. But there's long periods of time where he just quietly stares at the puzzle or has literally solved it and just undoes everything. Or where he just does the same thing repeatedly and gets frustrated.

Great video EnnEl, always love seeing you struggle in a puzzle game
I think this is a new personal record for me. Never went from video start to screaming at NL this quickly.

NL is amazing at selling puzzle games with half the audience shouting at their PC shouting "YOU EGG HOW ARE YOU NOT SEEING IT"
Watching NL play this is like watching Hearthstone when someone has lethal, but doesnt notice it and ends up losing because they didn't see it

Thanks for the company
9:04 "How am i gonna get over this gap that is fully passable? Hmm.."
9:24 "Dignity preserved" Not this time egg..
WOW this is classic NL combined with the Guldan Age Of Content energy. Laughed my ass off. Great video my dude!
I like northernlion tries puzzle games because they're short enough that I don't get irrationally angry at the man in the screen.
NL : tries another puzzle game
Me : My god why do I do this to myself every time.
Oh my god, watching him walk right past the place he needs to be over and over again
I'm here for the entertainment value, but NL is a very intelligent person, but anyone watching him only play puzzle games might think otherwise. I hope this gets across as a simple humoristic observation and not insulting. Like at 9:05 where it's solved, but then he just decides not to do that.
A puzzle game! Cant wait to get mad watching you pass the correct answer over and over. Love these videos nevertheless, time for another purchase!
It only took me like three minutes to absolutely lose my marbles, but as a forklift operator, the bit at 9:06 ish triggered me so hard!
PSA: Take your heart medicine before watching video....😂
Wow he is... I mean I know he's not the best at puzzle games but holy shit I don't think it's ever been this bad
This is NL's process for getting through puzzles:
1. Do the same thing over and over again, even though it's clearly not the solution.
2. Randomly find the actual solution, but don't realize it.
3. Repeat back to 1.
At least twice you had part of a puzzle stalled at the right moment to solve that part and you either kept moving or just ignored it
Great video Egg I love you. watching you play puzzle games is actual torture though.
Get ready boys this one is painful.
9:05 I'm literally crying
It's times like these where I have to remember I thought I would be good at slay the spire after watching NL and how wrong I was
