46% of themes are praise18% are divided36% are complaints
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
111 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A majority of Burton films, in my experience, can be memorable for their writing, characters and story but not always positive for the enitre viewing.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game has a lot of love put into it, and actually has enough stimulating puzzle gameplay to keep itself out of the walking sim genre.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
graphics look good for the most part, and there are more environments than you'd expected; some of them seemed out of place, but it fits the whole nonsensical theme of the game
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
sound effects are mostly good, (except for the mechanical sound when Vladdy walks, which is a bit irritating)
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the overall difficulty remains accessible, the puzzles rarely feel repetitive because they are closely connected to the game's bizarre world and evolving narrative.
