Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
The puzzles are really fun, perfectly balanced between too easy and too hard, aswell as every puzzle felt like a natural neccessity to progress the story forwards, and not something you were forced to do, just to add some gameplay to the game.
