Have you ever seen an art film or independent film where you're pretty sure no one actually likes it, they just pretend to in order to sound smart? Honestly that's the only reason I can think of to explain the host of glowing reviews that Dear Esther has received since being released on Steam back in February. While I would not say that Dear Esther is bad, or that I regret my experience playing it, I definitely would not shower it with praise like many reviewers seem to have.
