What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Built around the simple principles of magnetism, using polarity flips to attract or repel not only blocks, but also yourself, there are a surprising variety of challenges with an almost perfect learning curve, as though I did not need to use a guide to progress through the story or find all 36 achievement scrolls, I definitely had to hunt and think to earn them all.
These visuals are right up my alley, and this game has a mostly awesome soundtrack (some of the choir vocals don't sound very natural, mainly those in the final fight, but I guess they kind of fit the small-world sort of art style).
I know a number of games of similar style that make you do some fetch quest at the end to force you to go back through the various areas and explore, but I find that this just breaks up the flow of games, especially in Teslagrad, since the map itself is fairly linear, and doesn't really offer that much in terms of exploration because of its puzzle-oriented gameplay.

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
