Without a doubt, this game blew my mind when i played it back when it came out. The hype got to me and i had to try it. I've played it three times already. And no, its not like the puzzles change or that i have even forgotten the puzzles. But it is just such a well crafted game in terms of production, style and story that it floors me every time.
Also, one thing of note is that it really IS a long game. Even in my replays its taken me a loooooooong time to get through it. At this point, its definitely worth any price you pay for it.
Some of the puzzles area easy, some are crazy hard. So i must admit i did use a guide at some selected points. The game does make it easier because it will highlight certain tools that you can use on certain other things. Honestly, the game never feels like its trying to beat you down with impossible puzzles or happily moving you along with easy ones. The people are VERY memorable, the dialogue has wit and it feels real. This is a mature adventure without being lewd, overly violent or stuffy.
If I had to pick Top 5 games ever, without a doubt, this would be one of them.
