Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
147 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles aren’t boringly listed in a grid with numbers, but embedded in the world, and quite a lot of “puzzles” aren't about pushing blocks, but exploring the world, finding secret walls or hidden items, or solving other kinds of puzzles.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty level is challenging without being overwhelming -- just right to give you that wonderful dopamine rush after solving a puzzle, and then offer you some more where that came from, which lasted me for just under 30 hours.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
