- there is a good amount of logical puzzles and items to use and combine (thankfully no moon logic) and I had little difficulty throughout the game (and if I did, the main character gives you helpful tips without spoiling the solution outright)

I had some issues with crashes after long play sessions, but the auto save system never put me that far back, and I never experienced any other gameplay issues.
