Visually, we have the best-looking game I have ever seen made with AGS, with incredibly intricate mouse-drawn HD graphics that are part Mayan sculpture, part steampunk, part science textbook, and part hardware store.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
30 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
You genuinelly feel like you went on a lil adventure(with a cliffhanger ending very reminisce of how many classic p&c adventures tease the sequel) and the atmosphere is upheld by everything, the sound design, the puzzles, character design, map design, story, it really makes ya want to avoid looking up walkthrough to avoid spoilers!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects are very fitting for where they occur and the music is pretty groovy.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
10 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
-Gameplay is mostly logical so no Sierra games logic needed to complete it(especially ch1)
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
While some of the puzzles take a while to fully work out, and others are a bit too easy (especially some endgame puzzles) I found the general difficulty to be about right.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
8 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
The right mouse button and the drop-down menu on the score bar work just as well, but some Number Key quick-buttons would be kind of cool.
