I got a similar sensation to what I felt while exploring LSD, but the expirience was more complete: More varied locations, music, secrets, and an overall more cohesive structure (paradoxical as that may sound).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Sound effects are generally pretty good, and the atmosphere they present in tandem with the worlds themselves are pretty good.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
However i really liked the visuals, it really fitted the general vibe of the game and even though i called the game boring at times it's overall sort of short which doesn't make the boredom that bad.
