Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Polish dubbing is really good and the voice of your main character is like a bull's eye - you can imagine that there's an old scholar (or sage) who's telling you an old mistic story of him or maybe your grandpa tells you a story of his life and you are a kid sitting next to him by the fire.

The visuals are quite good despite being done by people of two.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The soundtrack is so breathtakingly beautiful, and easily makes my top five video game soundtracks of all time.

Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay on these settings is very smooth.
18 of 104 sampled reviews raised it
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
BUT: I do question some of the puzzle designs; in particular, the game seems almost apologetic that you’d have to think at all, giving you heavy hints almost immediately for some puzzles that even a 10-year-old should have no difficulty with (the game is clearly written for mature audiences, however).

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Map is easy to navigate, while most of journal is given in form of MC inner monologue.
