Over-rated, to my mind. I don't entirely regret the money I spent on it but it's not doing much to make me miss owning a 360 (I still have my Live account on a housemate's machine). It's extremely impressive from a purely technical perspective and has scattered moments of utter genius, I'll happily admit, but it's too abstract, full of itself, unfocused, murderously unbalanced and just... rather empty. I know I speak as a towering Fumito Ueda fanboy (even if the man is reportedly a bastard) but how anyone can compare this to Ico or Colossus is beyond me. I got through worlds 2 to 6 and, uh... nothing? Was I supposed to collect all the puzzle pieces before I received an ending? I'm sure there's some ludicrously obtuse cognitive leap I'm supposed to make that'll have it all make sense and make me, too, fall down and kiss Blow's feet in wonder but I'm at a loss as to what it could be to stop making me feel he's just the guy at the party standing in the corner, quite happy no-one wants to talk to him because he's just smarter than they are.
