Beautiful adventure game
I haven't finished the game but I'm loving it so far. The game in a nutshell: you roam around in a strange alien world, gathering clues and solving puzzles by interacting with the environment and various machines and crazy alien contraptions. Why are you here doing this? What is "here"? And where is everyone else? No idea! Experimentation and exploration and piecing the story together are what the game is about. The game is totally chill. There's no tutorial and you really don't need one because the controls are ultra basic, there's no inventory management and there's zero pressure to do anything, so you can just poke around at your own pace. It is also absolutely gorgeous. Often I just have to stop and admire the scenery because it's just fantastic. The audio is also beautiful. It's quite an awe-inspiring experience if you allow yourself to be immersed. The puzzles so far have been fine, but kind on the easy side. They are more laborious than difficult (require a lot of setup or travel). So far, there hasn't been any dumb "find the pixel" or "guess what the developers were thinking" puzzle, which is nice. The game does have two flaws which don't ruin it, but make it a bit frustrating: 1. You have to walk/run/drive A LOT. Like, several minutes to go from A to B sometimes. There really should be some kind of "fast travel" mechanic; 2. There are some puzzles which involve you teleporting around a bunch of times to solve a puzzle. Every time you do that, the game has to load for like 10 seconds (on my modest hardware). This is super annoying. I shudder to think what that feels like with less powerful hardware. Without those 2 flaws, it would be an easy 5 stars. This way, I have to ding one star because those issues just cause needless frustration (not enough to quit, but enough to be slightly miffed). But in the grand scheme of things, the flaws are minor. This is a fine adventure game and it is breathtakingly beautiful. I recommend it.
