@mangojoe I’m having trouble finding fault with any aspect of the game - it’s a combination of almost entirely unique, meditative gameplay punctuated by moments of pure panic or decisive action.

Earlier, I was wading across a river, lost my footing and two packages tumbled into the rushing water. I desperately ran to the bank, ditched all my other packages and had to race down the waters edge trying to cut off the packages before they disappeared from view. One got caught on a rock, the other one, I lunged into the water and snatched just as my stamina ran out. All emergent gameplay that sounds boring as fuck. Probably my gaming moment of the year - 10/10 - would run down the river bank going “fuck fuck fuck fuck” again.

In other words, I’m not sure I can tell you why I think it’s brilliant in a way that doesn’t sound incredibly offputting.
