This game is one of my favorite video games of all time but I don't know too many people who have played it all the way through. I, personally, loved just about everything the game offered including the box puzzles and insane difficulty of the game itself. Many people will not find aspects like this pleasurable in a game so if you're not enjoying the game just a couple hours in I don't see it getting any better for you. My suggestion is to always play until you manage to get to the first "outside" segment, if you don't like the game by then you probably will not warm up to it. The game has an excellent story and, in my opinion, excellent playability but like I said, not everyone is going to think so.
