Over on Tumblr,
I feel like I want to talk about this game with people, but I’m not sure how to start a conversation about it. It seems almost too easy to suggest that the game is a metaphor for the cycle of life, but it’s just sitting right there, waiting for me. A trek through the desert, solving puzzles that you can do by yourself but are much easier if you have a little help, and then you die and are resurrected into a beautiful new place, where you can fly through the air almost with impunity — and then after passing through a mysterious door, you go back to the beginning. Maybe I should look for something beyond the obvious interpretation, but that seems pretty obvious.
If other people have thoughts, I would love to talk about them. And if you don't have thoughts because you haven't played it (and you have access to a PS3), then seriously, go play. It's a short game, and I'm already looking forward to experiencing it again.
