But compared to the prequel, the improved graphics, BGM, and streamlined design that cuts out unnecessary elements make it much easier to immerse yourself in the puzzles
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is minimalist — the kind of soothing music you can leave on in the background for hours without it ever getting in the way of your thinking.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's also just very pleasant to look at (in the puzzles or in the "menu" which is the 3d world you can pan around).
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I find myself playing this a lot when listening to an audiobook or having a podcast on in the background at my desktop, and it was especially nice on my Steam Deck during a period of illness where my brain still craved some sort of low-level stimulation while I was stuck in bed.
