Review title of Unknown Intelligent, atmospheric and refreshingly original

This game deserves another 5 star review to get the average up. Don't believe the 1 star reviews from idiots with no attention span expecting the game to spoonfeed them the story and solutions to the puzzles. The whole point of the game is the steady pace and gradual discoveries of hints as to the meaning of it all. The puzzles can be very challenging, but never unfair. It's refreshing to play such a game which respects and trusts in your intelligence enough to not pander to the player. Instead it provides you with just enough clues, whether from the environment, sound or context to give you the satisfaction of solving them yourself. Puzzles and symbols which seem inpenetrable at first can be approached later, armed with fresh knowledge learned elsewhere on the island. The graphics and sound are minimalistically beautiful, and help the player to feel immersed in this hauntingly strange world. Playing it feels like learning a new language, one that will stay with you a long time.
