Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Although the game takes some getting used to in terms of animation, lack of lip synchronization (at least for the English version), slow progress of actions (though primarily in the first few chapters), and mediocre voice acting, the plot is very involving and develops with some nice twists leading up to the end of the storyline.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The voice acting was outstanding, the puzzles were moderately challenging but usually logical (as much as adventure games can be), and the cinematic feel was top-notch.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics were also very well done.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
Mini-games can also be played at two levels of difficulty, making the game easy to progress in, yet at your own level of difficulty.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay itself is excellent, with very few truly complicated puzzles yet, simultaneously, is challenging enough to remain fun.
27 of 278 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
What really helps towards this is that your inventory is cleared for each new chapter, reducing the amount of combinations of objects you need to try when stuck.
