Out of every aspect, the music and sound design was easily my favorite, although that's almost entirely because of just how phenomenal I found the soundtrack.

The puzzles are the right amount of difficulty, not too easy and not too hard.

Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

I highly recommend it if you enjoy puzzles and traversal, but not if you need combat and death in all of your games.
