I finished it last night, it really is FANTASTIC. It's a shame it's not being promoted heavier.

Chiming in that it's the most fun I've had in a while. Great gameplay, good story, great ending. People raved about Journey or Dust while this is at least on the same level if not better than both those games.
Hey now let's not get crazy. I feel Mark of the Ninja's narrative is up against really stiff competition, and while I loved it, that ending punch isn't as salent as Journey's or, let's say, Bastion's. Mostly because you have to go through the ending twice in order to make sure. The illusion of choice is an interesting one that does bring your dander up, but in the end, there's no reason why they couldn't have combined both outcomes in a way that makes the back of your head explode.
But yeah, wow, as far as final levels go...man. IMPRESSIVE. I've seen better, but that doesn't mean that MotN's story is weak or lacks punch.
It really is a shame because, unlike Papo Y Yo, and save for a few really stupid menu decisions, MotN really does keep you engrossed within it's story through gameplay. It's something that not a lot of games manage to do successfully. It's easily a 5/5 in my eyes.
