At the very start you see the quality of the game, graphics are beautiful and while gameplay is modernized it has that classic point&click vibe.

The difficulty curve is perfect, but I won't lie I looked at a guide a few times when to help me find that 1 thing I was missing so I could get back to progressing the game.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Because of this control scheme, I would strongly recommend using a controller, but it is still very much playable on keyboard and mouse.
