Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
As far as the gameplay, there were definitely a few puzzles that just felt a bit redundant, the old "adventure logic", all these games have them, but you still want to keep it immersive by not having the character solve silly things that don't need to be solved.

The game was short, but the interactive elements with an inventory system and interactive items made it a fun little experience.
