The atmosphere is somber and horrid, the puzzles are really well thought out and fun/challenging to solve, and the characters and story are very interesting as well.
Graphics

The art style is superb, characters are super interesting in design too!
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

If I had to name any negative aspects for this game, it's that there was quite a lot of walking back and forth between areas, and I had to refer to a guide on a couple of occasions, but otherwise the puzzles and gameplay were pretty solid, so I can't complain.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
(Even though it’s not an original soundtrack, the selections are amazing, in my opinion.)
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles are mostly all perfect in terms of balancing difficulty and whatnot....although I will admit there were two or three that had me checking a walkthrough; then again I might just be stupid.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character design is stunning and so are the graphics, the map is huge, there is a variety of beautiful soundtracks and the game did a pretty good job implementing creepy elements using classic topics such as fairytales and childish games.
