Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
73 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It doesn't waste time with context or even a bare-bones story- just a pack of puzzles with some fun mechanics.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
An interesting little game with a very nice, if somewhat repetitive soundtrack.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For a puzzle game, it's got wonderful music and graphics, and accomplishes a very memorable atmosphere.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Later puzzles can be difficult, yet remain fair and can be overcome with enough thought and tenacity; this allows Splice to blissfully incorporate a nice balance of increasing difficulty without moving into the realm of the absurd or impossible.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Visual presentation and UI are excellent, just navigating the menu is pretty enjoyable.
