Likely the greatest game mankind will ever put out. Truly, awe-inspiringly good.
A masterclass in innovation - the ingenious decision of making you play with a never seen before 1:1 aspect ratio, or your inability to turn left, simply stunned me at just how ahead of its time this game is.
The endlessly repeating 20 second long song with its childish instruments was a source of inspiration - what a deep metaphor about life itself!
The unnatural animations truly helped mystify the unnamed protagonist's struggle against the evil king,
while the ugly colors helped me form a deeper connection to the game's marvelous and profound story.
When you walk down and the character stares directly into your soul, asking for nothing more than sympathy and understanding, was the moment when I first cried playing this work of art.
The unintuitive controls show us just confused and bewildered the protagonist must be after being cast away from his life and family.
If you don't tend to your grapes, they blow up suddenly and with no warning. This is a fantastic way of sending a message about the urgency of life.
Despite all this, the game's happy mood shows us that there is always hope and good in our lives.
Quite possibly my favorite game of all time.
