Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Having finished the game and reflected on the way the story was told, I think the developers have done a brilliant job, not only of how the story evolves but the way they keep you guessing about what really happened to your character until you are close to the end.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
While I deeply enjoy playing point & click games, I dislike certain aspects of the core gameplay of the older games, such as pixel-hunting, lots of back & forth between scenes and illogical puzzles.
