Brilliant game. My initial reaction was: incredible graphics / environment, ... BUT a bit disappointed in the puzzles (first few puzzles) - "really, that's it?!". However, after taking a break and coming back to it, and discovering more of the game, and solving some of the more challenging puzzles, and seeing the world open up... WOW... I think this is turning out to be one of those amazing, memorable games you think about long after you're done with it. It is a work of art aesthetically - just love that polish, and Jon's attention to detail in those puzzles and overall gameplay, plus talent as a game designer is evident. The whole team is talented. I watched the GDC talk by the artist and follow handmade hero's blog where he talked about some of the behind the scenes testing / development. It's all linked from The Witness blog, and worth reading.
