63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Music, character voices and even sound design all draw extensively on a capella-style onomatopoeia that contributes further to the game’s aesthetic of childlike bliss.

47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay centers around exploration and puzzle-solving, but what sets Botanicula apart is its emphasis on discovery and experimentation rather than frustration or difficulty.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
(And can solve the first level and a half without much difficulty), so I would recommend it for children, too.
