Story

Even players without extensive knowledge of the original stories can follow the plot, while those familiar with Oz mythology have additional details and reinterpretations to appreciate.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
22 of 140 sampled reviews raised it
Although, the music and voice acting are top notch and it was also fun to collect the hidden buttons that were in the many zones that allowed you to see conceptual art for the characters in the game if you turned the buttons into the patchwork girl.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

And it only takes about five hours to complete without any mandatory grinding or artificial padding?
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 140 sampled reviews raised it
The art style and design feels timeless; some of the architecture now reminds me of Hollow Knight, the animal characters feels like they stepped right out of the 2000s comic Blacksad (or equally, could step right into the 2019 game of the same IP) and while some of the animations feel a bit dated, they have their own charm.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
9 of 140 sampled reviews raised it
After this 2nd time through, I still think this is a really well-designed adventure, if not a bit low on the difficulty spectrum.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
6 of 140 sampled reviews raised it
The interface is straightforward enough that players unfamiliar with older point-and-click adventures should be able to understand the basic mechanics quickly.
