I found myself imagining what it would be like to actually live in these worlds, and for a game all about serene exploration, this version really nails that sense of place.

18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
puzzle difficulty is satisfying and rewarding. the cues and solutions are often arcane and bizarre, forcing you to gradually learn the 'language' of this unfamiliar world, which suits the game's lore.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack was beautiful and melancholy, sometimes suggesting mystery, at other moments, almost foreboding.
