This game is incredible, and I can't actually tell you why without spoiling things. The way its mysteries naturally unfold as you play is pure genius. The gameplay is all exploration, no combat, crafting, or tedious gathering. You will be battling physics instead of copypasted goons with awful AI. You unlock knowledge instead of new gadgets and upgrades. Dialogue and text are crucial to progress, and hardly a word is wasted. You set your own goals and missions, no stupid fetch-quests or objective markers. So many AAA studios keep making the same dumb mistakes, wasting millions of dollars on unoriginal trash, and here comes this little indie team to show them how it should be done. I hope they get the funding to make a sequel that's even bigger in scope.

I love everything about this game and what it represents. The only problem is that it's too short, and once you beat it, you can never go back and experience that magic again. You can keep playing for as long as you want, but once you learn the truth, you can't unlearn it. Go in blind, take your time, and enjoy the ride.
