Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The different scoring metrics add a lot of replay value, but even the campaign makes it worth the price on sale, with more than 15 hours gameplay.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
41 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This in itself opens up a lot of replayability, because I find myself wanting to go back through each level and create multiple solutions that each fully optimize one of the three tracked stats: cost, size, and runtime.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This allows for creative approaches to puzzles and for players to 'choose' their difficulty.
Graphics
