The story is super engaging, though a few parts got pretty confusing and after hours of searching and thinking I had to search some stuff online.
Gameplay

52 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles shine when they force you to engage with the story and world, re-imagine how mechanics can be used and reflect upon everything you have discovered that might help you, but not all hit the mark.

42 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
I highly recommend it for anyone that enjoys rich storytelling, an incredible art style and sound track, and tough puzzles and combat.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
36 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
The characters are full of personality, the voice acting is one of the best I've seen in a game (at least in Portuguese).
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
22 of 243 sampled reviews raised it
The additional secrets have a completely different, way higher level of difficulty and complexity.
