Interesting game. Ross's notes pretty much nail everything of note. I would however like to add that people went NUTS over this game when it first came out for some reason. It was probably the weirdest disconnect between myself and the general gaming audience that I have ever experience.

I second this. Watching youtube reviewers over-analyzing this game trying to find some deep meaning in it was amusing.

I liked this game, but just barely. I classify games like this as "What now?" Games. The puzzle aspect was fun, and the game world has a way of raising questions and made me want to learn more about it, but when the end happened, I was just left feeling a little empty, like I had just read a book where the author died halfway through writing it. 

 

If you want a game with similar gameplay and style, but brighter and more fantastic visuals, check out Two Brothers.
