Is it still worth playing?

Playdead's 2016 puzzle platform game, in 2.5D and mostly monochrome, released first for the Xbox One and then for Windows and the PlayStation 4, in which you control an unnamed boy. It opens with a chase through a forest, evading patrol units and dogs, and you then explore a research facility that grows more sinister. Some areas let you control bodies to solve puzzles. Dying returns you to the latest checkpoint. It is the follow up to Limbo. The puzzles are why it still plays well: they are natural obstacles that make sense in the context of the game, and the wordless boy is expressive enough to carry it.
