Yeah I really love the tunes it creates while you explore, I got the standard version but now listening to it I'm tempted to get that artifact version (pretty much a sort of collectors edition) just for the OST. 

Pardon for the iffy FPS, it plays a lot better than that but recording game footage with fraps on a crappy laptop is never a good thing.
  

  not that much to do though, but for 7,50 I recommend everyone to give it a try.

What do you do in it? Just walk around and explore? How do the landscapes vary?

@mandude: Yeah you pretty much just walk around and explore, the landscape does vary, specially when the seasons change, but the real meat of it I think is the music and sounds and how it all reacts to your exploration, also the wind waker eske graphics look great.
 
This is what I would call a chill out game.

Sounds like something I'd be into. I'll be sure to give this a shot. Not sure why these kinds of games appeal to me, but I guess they do.

Looks cool, but I think it'd have to have more gameplay than just walking around. Exploring minecraft is a huge part of that game, but there's an incentive to do so.

I take it all back, what I said two replies up, I've played about 50 minutes. It's fantastic.
