Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
One of the best puzzle games I've ever played, maybe the best if I consider all the things I find important in puzzle games - great mechanics (though I'm bad at one of them), good introductions of all them, great variation of puzzles with each one revealing more things of how to think with puzzles, great progression in difficulty, yeah, really good.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Plus, the serene, ambient soundtrack provides a soothing backdrop to your journey, making it easy to lose track of time as you get lost in this cosmic conundrum.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Writing There is no plot really, you play as a cosmic train driver that has to collect and deliver alien passengers of different races through different galaxies.
