Why players love itThings to know
67% of themes are praise11% are divided22% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
116 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The levels are all designed really well, new mechanics are introduced at a steady pace, as well as a bunch of secret extra levels and collectables.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It does a really nice job ramping up the difficulty slowly, using tiny iterations on puzzles and solutions without feeling overly repetitive.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
70 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Music/soundThe music is really relaxing, each world has a different soundtrack so it never feels repetitive, on certain levels it's synced up to the movement of some of the puzzles.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are pleasing to look at and even the hardest of puzzles look like they can be solved just because of their visual flair.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Altogether, these elements, with a very nice accompanying responsive score help generate a sense of flow (and even a bit of narrative force) in the game that puts Linelight a cut above the rest.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I strongly recommend use of a controller, as there are a few puzzles that are timing based, and even more that require a bit more finesse than a keyboard delivers.
