Puzzle logic (spoilers)

This might be spoilers for some people so just ignore it

I just finished the game last night but some of the puzzles are still bothering me because as much as I like them some are genuinely just outright dumb in their own logic or how they present themselves. Even with process of elimination and science of deduction some

Two of the combination keys are good but really makes you overthink.

The cashier one had to be given the answer as not even the hints thread gave a grounded idea. All I could theorise is it’s how many lines are touching the dot but the journal just throws it out the water.

Vinyl record is pretty bad. It’s pretty hard to distinguish vocal tone to a three button pattern that sounds nothing like whats played.

There is literally zero indication to put the blood bag in the mold and freeze it. If there is I did not find

The fuel canister puzzle’s solution contradicts itself as some of the “open” valves would have the gas come out of the pipes. I’m just failing to see the logic.

The game is great but I think it does need to rethink its approach on its puzzles. Some are very well thought out and are very rewarding with others not so much and just feels like you need a degree to understand it.

Small vent over but am I alone in this, does anyone else feel this way about the puzzles?
