Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
96 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In a way, this game is "Valve-ian" in all the good ways: presentation, design, and gameplay—somewhat reminiscent of the Portal games.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
71 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is minimalist in a way that sharply defines every edge of each surface.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are pretty and help keep the puzzles clear, the music fit the visuals and matched the pacing of the game well, the puzzles were kind of hit and miss on difficulty (once you learn the gimmicks you can breeze through a lot, the ending puzzles are great though), and I had to reload my save on 3 separate occasions because the transition after getting the MacGuffin didn't happen properly.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A short and sweet puzzle game that I enjoyed throughout my playtime through really cool and trippy visuals, unique and engaging mechanics that span from shifting gravity or infinitely repeating spaces, and nice difficulty progression where introducing new pieces to the puzzle is clear and the end points build on those ideas without being convoluting or confusing.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design is cinematic and booming in a way that sells the infinite size of the world(s) in the garden.
