Ok, so I just completed EXO!
Some of my favorite games ever are often listed within the ever growing category of "Art Games". I would not count this as an art game though. See the main issue I have is that for something to be an art game (or even a game) it needs to have actual gameplay. Unlike games like Flower or Child of Eden (which this reminds me of in parts) EXO has no gameplay. Yes it's an interactive experience (you can move around a bit and look all about) but more on the level of a tech demo or interactive screen saver. I mean Pong isn't pretty but it's a game due to the fact it has gameplay.
Do not misunderstand me, EXO is pretty, and it is a ride through some lovely scenery, but I at least would not call it a game. I would certainly encourage anyone curious to give it a shot for themselves. I do think it's a work of art, of creative expression, but more like a painting (or better yet an installation) then a game. You're invited to look at it, to see how it affects you, you just don't really interact with it.

@Allistair: I don't think it messes with your spine so much as your brain. Now LCD, that is something people relate to pain in your spine. I think that's usually attributed to when strychnine is in it. Know your drugs man.
I've seen some pretty wild colors on LCD.
It almost seems like they can display any color found in nature and even a few invented by humans, some of whom may have been using a lesser product, LSD.
This game would probably look great on LCD judging by that single screen shot seen underneath the headline. Just don't trip on LCD or you'll break it.

Reminds me of a cross between Metroid Prime and Fract. The environments would fit perfectly, and the trippiness and music go well with Fract. Really cool, I like games like this :3
Is it like an on-rails tour or are you able to explore freely? Didn't wanna watch the video and spoil things for myself, if anyone can let me know I would appreciate it!
Watched it but my brain kept on spoiling it by complaining about the low poly count, murky textures and how it looked like one of those futuremark benchmarks from 10 years ago.
Have been playing games since 'pong', so I'm not one of those lucky modern kids who managed to hit the sweet spot and start gaming on a 360 or PS3 ;)
Makes you realize how far things have come in a short amount of time, also reminded me of some classic games such ass battlezone 2, captain blood, project nomad, morrowind, rescue on fractalus and many more.
It's not about the graphics, but the concept and It was interesting, and at times painful. Trying to go down the cave with water whilst the view clipped out and controls went crazy kinda killed the mood, as a 'on rails' journey it could have been far worse.
At the end textures seem sharper, the myriad off graphical effects were at times quite cool. Gives much food for thought on many levels, in which I guess it wins :)

You can freely explore within the limits of whatever area you're in. Sometimes it's linear, sometimes it's free roam, and occasionally you pretty much can't move anything but the camera. Every "scene" lasts maybe 30 seconds at the very most, some hardly lasting at all.
Without spoiling anything, the ending is epic as hell. And none of it really makes much sense until you really start thinking about.

After reading these comments, I will now refer anyone who needs drugs ever to the Dtoid community. Haha.

Thanks!
Sounds like the kind of game that's worth holding off on until you get a chance to smoke up. Maybe over the weekend.

Neither LSD nor MDMA damage your spine. He's probably confusing it for the common LSD myth. You have to be a very frequent user of MDMA in order to have any theoretical permanent effects on your brain. That's unlikely because the drug isn't physically addictive, it wears you out to the point where you don't want to do it again right away and the high isn't nearly as good if you do it too frequently.
But even in the most extreme cases of MDMA abuse, there were signs of recovery in patients. Not enough research has been done to even confirm permanent physical damage but MDMA is a pretty harmless drug. Many experts in the field have even argued that it's safer than marijuana.

@ indigit4l "Good catch! You're joke needs a rewrite though to be funny."
your sentence needs a rewrite to make sense.
i think you're wrong too. i enjoy LCD all the time, and my spine isn't looking too good. i think it's more to do with my seating position though.
