I think it's worth playing purely for the visuals. This is probably one of the most gorgeous games I've ever played... in the environments, anyway, the character models look pretty jank looking. But the environments are fantastic.

The puzzles are fine enough, and so is the story, I guess, although the ending is kind of weird. My biggest complaint is that there is, without any warning, an indie-horror-style sequence in the middle of the story where you have to escape from a monster in a maze and if you do it wrong it jumpscares you. I think it's unfair to have a scene like this in a game that has nothing like that anywhere else in the game. I didn't WANT a jumpscare horror game, okay? Fortunately it's extremely choreographed where the sequence begins and ends, and it's such an afterthought of programming that you can totally avoid getting caught if you just look at your feet the whole time you're in it. Was a strange decision though.
