Soup is, both in its gameplay and its aesthetic, simple but by no means boring. The whimsical outlines of villagers move clumsily and gracefully at the same time. Giving the player the ability to look at the sky, to stir and taste the soup, are so mechanically minimal, yet add so much to the experience. The soundtrack ties it all together so nicely, and the ending is beautiful. Projects like this elevate the medium of video games from entertainment to art.
