Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
30 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
This review covers both parts in the series, because although the first game is nowhere near as good as the second, I feel that they are still probably best played one after the other for the story if nothing else.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics wise they remind me a lot of the Myst series - particularly Myst III as they use the same technique of fully pre-rendering the scenes from every position you can stand in (and in the second game from two perspectives since you can visit each location as Jep who is much shorter than Mina) and allowing you to freely rotate the camera in any direction.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
12 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
There are many new mechanics, so it is definitely not just the first game all over.
