That is a lot more time than I'd want to invest in a game that doesn't have a satisfying conclusion. Or even a satisfying "the end... for now!"

It does sound like Blue Prince is very smooth, and having game play that's rewarding in and of itself can go a long way. Particularly if you can get some reasonable conclusions, like *an* ending (even if there are endings that remain elusive. And that in and of itself is impressive!) It's impressive for a newly released indie game to... work. Heh.
