It has a basic but solid gameplay, a smart level-design, a gorgeous art style (reminds me tv shows during 90's or something like that) and beautiful ost (that I like even more).

Primal Light has decent controls, very nice graphics but terrible game and level design.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

The environments, though constructed with a limited color palette, make excellent use of lighting and contrast to set the mood, while the soundtrack enhances the experience with ambient, rhythmic compositions that feel primitive and mystical at the same time.
Characters

Good options menu with all the basic necessities (aka audio control and customizable keybinds).
