It is an enjoyable experience for the 1-4 hours you may get out of it (depending how many times you play it through), but as I said, it's an experience, not a game, and it has to be viewed as such.
You immerse yourself in a beautiful story and once it's done you Google the ending to try to actually understand it. I assumed that was just a fancy genre title and that you would walk around, collect items, or solve puzzles, but no, you walk, you look, and you listen. When I first heard about Dear Esther they told me it was a “walking simulator”. They discuss their reasoning for creating such an ambiguous storyline, but they don't explain what it actually means.
Play the game once, or even more, to understand it, and if the director's thoughts interest you then turn on the commentary. The Landmark Edition of Dear Ester includes a directors commentary, which I do not recommend listening to the first time you play. The details are all there and really do a service to the story. The beauty of the game is in the tale it tells, and every aspect of the design really enforces that feeling. It makes every step feel like it's important and that you are actually achieving something. One of my favorite aspects of Dear Esther is that as you climb mountains and stairs, your character slows and you can feel the weight of having to trudge uphill.
The Chinese Room really made the island and the narrator come alive which is necessary for a game where that's all you do is walk, watch, and listen. The night sky is the best I've seen in a game, and the view from any high point on the island is amazing. It is creepy and beautiful all at the same time. From the wind howling in your ear to the caves and cliff faces of the island, everything is gorgeous and really immerses you in the story the narrator is telling. The textures, music, ambiance, and sound effects are all incredible.
