Yeah, I understand what you mean. But there does come a time in these games when you get stuck, and have been stuck for awhile. That's when a game hint or tip really comes in handy. Like in vv1, I worked for 5 generations first time I played it, trying to get my people to move that stupid boulder! And how much water did my people put on that field of dead flowers, before I got the hint to free the rubble, first.

Some of the stuff in these games relies on other actions that most would find simply by chance. Sometimes you lose a whole village, trying to find answers to some of the puzzles. A hint or tip, or both, sometimes saves a LOT of frustration.
