Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It was a genuine pleasure and a challenge to work through the puzzles, which range in difficulty from a doddle to cross-eyed, hair ripping frustration, but not in a steady progression; the difficulty of progressive "levels" is not linear.

18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The calm, understated soundtrack reinforces this mood, offering soft ambient tones that leave room for thought.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I should note, though, that I was using a controller; which I felt was more comfortable than the keyboard.
