Although I found the acid-trip ending to be a bit of a cop out, a means of expressing a bunch of ideas without having to come up with any connective tissue or commit to abstraction, on the whole I thought this was very good. More and more games try to go for the cinematic feel, but few nail the sense of pacing the way Virginia does. The rhythm of the storytelling is so strong that it dissuades the player from the typical instinct to explore every corner of the space.
