Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
58 of 183 sampled reviews raised it
While the core story is short and easy to follow, it feels remarkably fresh thanks to its framing: the game places you right in the middle of an enchanting library, sitting in front of a massive interactive book.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
35 of 183 sampled reviews raised it
No bugs encountered through the first 10 hours of my gameplay, fortunately.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
24 of 183 sampled reviews raised it
Occasionally, we are drawn into combat against mechanical beasts, and the fighting itself is a visual treat.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

I like this approach, the music, visuals, and performance have all been quite good.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 183 sampled reviews raised it
Anyways, absolutely adorable game, fun puzzles that weren't too difficult to figure out (for the most part), and collectibles that were fun to keep an eye out for, although I certainly missed a few.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
13 of 183 sampled reviews raised it
They adapted the cursor you used for controlling objects in the environment to the mouse and the joystick in your gamepad, and it works quite beautifully; picture “Super Mario Galaxy” where you use the cursor to interact with the world around you, but instead of a Wiimote, you’re using a mouse and a joystick.
