It's one of the best games I've ever played. I don't think I've been bowled over so many times in one game, grinning from ear to ear as you use a new goo or manage a fiendish solution to a fiendish puzzle.
The game maintains a great sense of fun and whimsy throughout but, surprisingly, in places feels really haunting or lonely thanks to a wonderful soundtrack and lush visuals. The twist towards the end as Moriarty mentions is a great change in direction and keeps the game feeling fresh just when it could've started to feel a little staid. I adored it and rank it up there with Portal.
Buy it for any price you want while you can (offer ends today!)
