Don't be afraid to borrow heavily from Grimrock in terms of inspiration - due to the newer engine of the game after a long pause in the genre, the game easily had some of the best puzzles ever seen in a first person crawler.

I do not like puzzles with a timer.
Some people don't have fast reflex like some oldies here.
Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals has some nice puzzles.
And maybe some lateral thinking puzzles included.

Yea, LoG had great puzzles... don't forget key puzzles and traps, though!
...of course lockpicking and trap disarming should be added too then. ;)

I hope that there will be ridlle of general knowledge ( je ne sais pas si c'est la bonne traduction de "culture générale"en anglais).
In world of xeen, there was a riddle where the answer was "palindrome".
It's a definition that I learn thanks to this game (I was young but I think that even lots of adult doesn't know what means palindrome). Learning in gaming is a very good thing.

They Might Be Giants reference! Made my day.
On the subject of puzzles, there should be a few that span the whole game - ones that aren't just specific to a particular dungeon or castle. The early M&M games had many puzzles/quests like that (find a prisoner in each castle; win an Arena battle in every town; find and decode all of the Gold and Silver messages, etc.) Tracking down the pieces of each puzzle led to plenty of exploration and quests I wouldn't have found otherwise.

Excellent! Will have something to smash his head and take a break from the battle!

All this looks very promising! I'm already happy all these ideas that snaps into place! I am all for a variety of puzzles with different difficulty and rewards of course! As in the temple of Baa in M & M 6 for example the central part and the famous key to find!
I will never forget how just having that feeling of never really know everything that I'm missing something in this or that place was magical! I hope and I believe strongly that you go to succeed it! Good job dear developers.

Sounds cool, how about some riddles like in MM3. The ones you get at the statues in swamp city, or what is it called in the english version? Conundrums of some kind, they could be optional.
I also look forward to the obelisks. Lets see if the puzzle is as difficult as in MM6.^^

Just please make sure the riddles are solvable. I loved M&M 1 a lot, but could never finish it because some of the late game riddles were unsolvable - and that was b4 the internet was in full swing, so the whole google-is-your-friend argument didn't exist.

I love the puzzles. The more the merrier.

Riddles are always fun, you can always make a "Pay for hint" type option, or maybe followers might have suggestions on how to solve puzzles. Just try to avoid the ones we've seen in many other games...

Puzzles and riddles are absolutely essential!. What about basic physics puzzles like combining and matching light colors to get a door opened, or putting the correct set of counterweights to balance a platform? Some riddles could include simple physics or math problems too. Let the damn player sweat!!
