I don't recall the puzzle you're talking about, but there are a massive variety of types of puzzles in the Witness. Was it early on?

I loved Talos Principle also, and I genuinely think the Witness is one of the best games of the last decade. Hopefully you can give it another go :)

IIRC it may be one of the water reflection puzzles. You see the solution reflected in one half of the room, and have to repeat it on a panel in the other half. One of a small handful of puzzles I cheated - my short term memory is horrid.

You should have seen my camera roll on my phone while playing through some areas. It was an incredibly helpful tool for getting through the game.
