The worlds you explore in this game gave me such an ethereal feeling of 'otherness' as I explored them that even after I finished the entire game, I couldn't quite place how they made me feel while exploring them. They are the star of the show, for sure. The puzzles then, are easy enough to put into motion once you've figured out the solution, though they get quite repetitive in their structure after a while. This game definitely benefits from its length in that sense, that the reptition is manageable because it doesn't take ages to get to the end.

All that said, this game didn't really leave me with anything once it was over. The puzzles were alright, the central concept was really cool, the worlds were truly stunning and left me speechless at times... and then it ended and I didn't really get anything out of it except the remnants of this vague feeling of 'wow'. It isn't even close to my favourite game I've played, but it is one of the few that has left me with such a distinct 'wow'-factor, and it's worth a try just for that if you're even remotely interested.
