Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
23 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
The main game mechanics reminds somewhat of the Recorders in The Talos Principle, except that, unlike the Recorders, it's fast-paced and fun.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
20 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
Everything from the environments, puzzle design, voice acting, narrative, cryptic secrets, and overall incredible feel is truly something that you aren't going to find in many other puzzle games.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
In my experience, Causal Loop with the "Steam Deck" built-in graphics quality preset runs in 30 fps nearly flawlessly, without any upscaling, even with HDR turned on (I have OLED), and with default Proton.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
While the Soundtrack of this game is impressive and epic, making the world feel massive and it also pushes the mood for each situation.
