There was a part early in the game where the sun was shining on the sand and my character was sliding down a hill or something--I thought to myself that it was the most beautiful game I'd ever seen. I didn't play much of it and, to be honest, I kinda forgot that the game even existed. Hopefully, I go back and play it one day. When I did play, I was paired up with somebody else and that added to the experience. The longer I wait, the less likely it is for that to happen, again.

You should really give it another chance.  I am still in awe with the experience.  It's not a long game (took me around two hours to finish it), but I did not see the time pass.  Playing with somebody else is really well done.  You can communicate in the most basic way possible and yet, I understood everything.  A deeply satisfying moment.
