Story

88 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
The game boasts several difficulty options, fair Steam Achievements all attainable in a single playthrough, a number of characters each with voiced dialogue, and a story that feels complete while still leaving room for a sequel.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
29 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
It's also fun that all the characters are historical scientists/inventors, the graphics are nice and the music fits the atmosphere of the game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
28 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
There was also a very nice soundtrack that made playing the game even more fun.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

I like that you can adjust the difficulty level further compared to earlier releases; you can now make your own custom difficulty which means that anyone can enjoy this game, and you don't really need to check walkthroughs to know where to go next.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
16 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
That said, if you like these games, that's all par for the course, and IMO in this case it is outweighed by the pleasant art, clean and uncluttered HO scenes, easy to understand puzzles, fun progression, and pleasant music.
