Art direction and visual design always was a core strength of Cyan as a developer, even when the tech of all their older titles is now badly dated the style of it still typically is beautiful, and the music score and sound design underlying their games also still holds up well.

Controller support, VR support, better quality options, changes to make some puzzles not as cryptic, etc.
Accessibility
Players who bring up Accessibility mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
