Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack creates an unsettling atmosphere ideal for traversing strange alien structure.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
People like to compare this to Portal because of the similarities in first person puzzle and level designs, lighting and more, but those do Portal injustice because Q.U.B.E. doesn't have an overlying story narrative, you never break out of the "test" environment, and there is usually only ever one way to solve each puzzle.
