Is it still worth playing?

Playdead's puzzle platformer with horror elements, a 2D side scroller with a physics system, released in July 2010 on Xbox Live Arcade. You guide an unnamed boy through dangerous environments and traps as he searches for his sister. It is presented in dark grayscale graphics and minimalist ambient sound, and the dark visuals hide lethal surprises, such as bear traps on the forest floor and monsters in the shadows. In the second half, puzzles and traps use machinery, electromagnets and gravity, and many are not apparent until triggered, often killing the boy. Even now, hazards that show themselves only by killing you turn each death into a lesson about the next attempt.
