Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
You don't have to solve crazy puzzles that require a lot of mental strength - they are simple, understandable, you don't have to worry or use hints to solve them, and they are never over the top, as some quests do - you always have a general idea of what you have to do.

Gameplay

Some people might not like the included minigames, but in my subjective opinion they we a nice alteration to the traditional gameplay

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Very atmospheric, with all the music and the sounds, nicely crafted puzzles that (in my opinion) get a bit too hard as you went along the game and the graphics set the game up to be really good, and well fitting with the music.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
First thing that surprised me is that is was fully dubbed (with subtitles as well, just in case).
