Work of Art or Complete Crap? On the one hand I love it divides opinion, focuses on storytelling and how it's trying something new. On the other hand I played 8 mins and got bored. Games at there heart are about interactivity, that's what makes them unique and what makes them the best storytelling form in my opinion. Dear Esther demonstrates what I think is the wrong way to make 'art games', art games should be about an individuals emotions or experiences, something personal. Tell a story through interactivity, if not, make a film.
