Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
I like a little story flavor here and there, but in a game with as many layers as this one, it would have been infuriating to get distracted by Russell's take on every little thing.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics and the representation of the various memory states - These were visually very cool at times, but at others, kind of frustrating as a player and lackluster in their originality.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Voice acting is amazing as well.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The puzzles were generally balanced out fairly well between obscurity and difficulty.
6 of 207 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
Switching from each dimension does take quite a while, all of the loading times are pretty long considering that the game does load the same maps in theory.
