Falls just short of something incredible. Giant empty sandbox world where your goal is to eat, explore, and beat the brakes off of any creature that gets within a foot of you.
Jokes aside, you're trying to build a tower out of mammoth tusks that's tall enough for you to touch the sun and see the meaning of life...it's so cool that if it was more embraced and interwoven throughout the game it would be a must play. Instead it's left completely to sudden discovery, which makes the journey, while fun, feel pointless. It's a game in its purest form...you play and that's all.
It's going to stick with me purely from the audacity to develop such a laid back game about wandering but many modern indie titles have done it better. Try A Short Hike out instead, unless the early PSX strangeness of it is your main reason for playing.
