Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Soundtrack is decent, a few tracks are quite nice to listen to and they create immersion when needed but for the most part you'll find listening to the ~2 minute loop over and over again which will get annoying if you become stuck on a particular puzzle.
