I've just realised.....Puzzle games are dead.
Hear me out. I don't mean that they aren't innovative any more, that there aren't new puzzle games in development and there aren't new puzzle games that are going to push boundaries going forward, but, with the rise of AI I've realised that the challenge will be gone.

But now? You can literally share your camera with Googles Gemini assistant, point it at the screen of whatever you're trying to figure out and it will instantly tell you the answer.
Fuck man. Kids have shit so easy nowadays.
R.I.P Puzzle games.
