The tone. pacing and narrative of the game I think is what makes it really special.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
There is a major learning curve that must be learned and perfected under duress, where when utilizing the recommended controller to play, the left and right bumpers control the vertical looking, while the left and right triggers control horizontal looking.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Crumbling cottages, sci-fi labs, an underground village, a stone school, and so many more delightfully disgusting settings presented themselves with a wide array of colors, textures, props, and puzzles that really set each apart from the last.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
And while some could say "They’re way too easy, I want to be reading ancient transcripts to find out the clues" for me, a person who rushes games forward, a puzzle that does not crash your brain is the one to have fun with, and I think I did, as among all of them the only one I couldn’t figure out myself was the one with the spheres and the poem about who is guarding who or something to that degree.
