Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game's progression and design is excellent, the ambience was delightful to my ears and created that sense of a surreal space.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There’s no real story to speak of in Antichamber, but the entire experience is expertly accented in a very sterile atmosphere and minimal graphics.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
One very smart addition to curb some of this difficulty is the ability to, at any point, press escape and jump out to the central hub of the world.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is just as minimalist as you're imagining but include some very nice ambiance in areas and terribly pleasant wums and blips for your matter manipulator.
