The few things I did like about the game where it's visuals, many times in the game they were breathtaking & gorgeous, & the soundtrack was wonderful, but only comes on a couple times throughout the game, really wish it would play more often.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Fun puzzles and less difficulty than Inside as it's more a story, without words.
