I believe he wanted a platform for people to help each other, working together through challenges. Poetic and therefore definitely not for casual entertainment which perhaps is why people dislike the game as it steps outside traditional gaming goals

That’s my take, take it or leave it

Would you recommend it for a casual player who isn't into violence for the sake of violence or convoluted puzzles for the sake of puzzles, but played the hell out of MMOs? I played Witcher and enjoyed it, but CoD and GTA aren't my bag. I played Journey and enjoyed it, but Myst wasn't my bag (beautiful world but the excessively contrived puzzles ruined it for me.) I'm definitely a casual player, at most I have half a dozen hours per week to play video games.

It's one of the hardest games to judge in terms of who'd like it or not.

I loved it, but I have one good friend that I know very well and I had no doubt that he'd hate it.

It's become one of his favourite games.

But, from what you said, it could be for you.

You can avoid most violence (apart from boss fights) and it isn't really a puzzle game in any way.

I enjoy good combats, but I don't get a kick out of splatter for the sake of shooting stuff.
I think I'll try it out. Thanks!
