I love and respect everything this game is, but my admiration is just that--admiration. I respect its evershifting gameplay and smart level design, I respect its themes, I loved the writing and the fascinating piece of gaming history that it is, particularly in how it paved the way for indie titles to be unflinching auteur experiences compared to the stagnant nature most big companies were occupying at the time. But I honestly lack the patience to actually have fun solving the puzzles and found it a lot more frustrating than engaging. When I'm older and wiser I think I'll come around on loving everything about it, but I'm putting it on the shelf for now
