Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
218 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I personally loved the story, which is original, well delimited in chapters and also quite surprising at the end.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
65 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is indeed a beautifully illustrated game with a combination of beautiful gameplay visuals in conjunction with comic-book-style cutscenes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It was a nice transition since both are point-and-click games; Daedalic, however, employs hand-drawn graphics as opposed to Wadjet's pixelated approach.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I would rate the difficulty as fair but challenging, aside from my complaint about small, easily missed pick up items.
