I find it particularly pretty (Gaming)

Kind of like Wind Waker.
Anyway, Steam reviews are bombing the game. Hard. I'm confused.
Most of the negative reviews I've seen are just people bitching that it's "only" line puzzles, which, while technically true (so far anyway), is so amazingly reductive I feel they've pretty much missed the point and absolute brilliance in its design.
It usually feels sort of like a cop out to me when people say this, but this game is very, very difficult to actually talk about in any real way without completely spoiling and destroying the magic of it for those that haven't played.
