This is the absolute best work of art I ever experienced. When we encounter a great game, we rush to compare it to the great classics of the medium, like Ocarina of Time, Half-Life, Mario Galaxy, etc. I'm the same, I'm like that. But when I finished The Witness and dove deep into what it was that it was trying to do, I wanted to compare it to bigger things in the art world. I wanted to compare it the Mona Lisa, to the Statue of St. Sebastiano, to the entire Beatles' discography. If there is justice in this world, The Witness will be studied and dissected not only in game design courses, but also in art history courses.
