...but although all the latest maps are technically very good, the element of true problem solving has gotten very obscure, ninja-like, and luck based. It's almost like you have to stumble upon the solution by accident. No ahh haa moments. Tough situations. Long times must be spent hoping you fall into the correct combination of moves. Where is the thought required to find the hidden keys to the way out? These are all try this, whoops, no, try that. Where are you, lobster?

Perhaps it is just that people are struggling for orginiality on a site that already has literally hundreds of different maps?

I think in terms of boolean variables. Generally, it makes things easier.
