Visually stunning & enjoyable but short
The story is not nearly as clever as the authors thought it would be and honestly I guessed the final twist after a few seconds (when I tried to walk back the tunnel right at the start). There are too many obvious hints and the idea is not that new or clever anyway. However, from a visual point of view, this is one of the most beautiful games I ever played. Even though some of the object are heavily re-used, things like tree stumps or rocks are detailed and believable like I never observed this in a game before. Even the technically most advanced games tend to disappoint you with simple models and ugly or flat textures here and there but in Ethan Carter's world, nearly everything looks beautiful and the rest looks still pretty good. Which still is not what makes this game so beautiful. It's the extremely well designed environment. The small forest and bridge at the start are already very nice, but the area around the dam with the pictorially deteriorated buildings is simply one of the best world designs I ever saw in any game. And while I wandered through the woods up the hill towards the church and cemetery I thought multiple times that I this is really the most detailed and realistic environment I ever saw in a game. You can freely roam the whole scenario even though it is not very large and while this is really enjoyable, there is not an awful lot of things to do and most of the riddles are very simple and straight forward. There is only one place in the game where you can "die" but then you are just reset to the entrance of the area. And there's only one "secret" to be found (grenade -> sniper rifle.) Well, yeah, it's a bit too short and easy but honestly I also liked that part because my and patience are somewhat limited. I give it four stars instead of five since there is room for improvement, but I'm very happy with this purchase (especially as it was on sale) and consider to even play it again some time (and this time don't miss to throw the grenade).
