Bach when I was first starting undergraduate, I took a 300-level course on digital logic and immediately thought "wow, there's a lot of neat puzzle mechanics here".
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

I enjoyed the three choices of difficulty level- it was fun to try and complete the digital levels on engineer mode, even though finding the door to the programmable display took a friend to tell me where it is (who, I believe, asked on the steam forums!) The hub world was great to seperate everything out, and the layout of the puzzles was generally good.
Graphics

The graphics design is very nice, reminds me faintly of Portal 2.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 38 sampled reviews raised it
With that said, it's still a good looking game with a clear atmosphere that is well supported by a low-key soundtrack.
