Good puzzles but two small issues

First is optimisation, it's not too well optimised to the point where even on a beastly PC it feels a bit sluggish and not so smooth. Graphically pretty, but some weird texture pop-ins, disappearing water and strange physics on occasion. Other big criticism is the music. The music itself is not bad, it suits the mood. The problem is, it loops CONSTANTLY, which is kinda annoying when you've been on a puzzle for an hour and the same 30sec-1min track is in its 60th loop. The flagship puzzle game for music would be Myst III Exile which has a music frequency slider -- music kicks in at pivotal moments as opposed to playing the entire time, and Myst III also used a "self-composing" system, where music would be different every time you played the game. Apart from that puzzles are neat and it's good value for money, and very challenging.

Very solid

I think this is a fantastic Myst spiritual succesor type of a puzzle game. I like how the puzzles are mostly envirnmental and no logic puzzles.

Surprising quality

Really nice puzzle game. Solid feeling physics and great puzzles. The main happy surprise for me was the sheer amount of content. There is more to this game than I expected.

Chill, peaceful puzzle game

I’m a real fan of this game. The puzzles are relatively well-conceived and feel part of the world that’s been constructed. The hub-and-spokes layout works well as you tend to open up shortcuts that are satisfying. The graphical design is enticing, and the world feels relatively organic. I was a big fan of Myst, Riven and Obduction, and while this game feels a bit smaller in scale, it is nevertheless highly enjoyable and clearly draws on those influences. One slight frustration is that the game does not fully integrate controller input like its console version. The menu is not navigable using a controller, which kind of defeats the purpose for me, as I like chilling with this game on the TV. If I remember correctly, the developer mentioned that full controller support would be added to the PC version alongside the recent console launch, but it seems that’s not the case. Still, as you may be buying this with the preference of playing using mouse and keyboard, I still highly recommend this game. I for one bought the game again on Xbox to have my preferred experience. On an autobiographical side note, I was playing this game and idly attempting to solve one of its puzzles in one of the last telephone conversations I had with my father before he died. I sometimes feel guilty I was playing a game while chatting with him, but at the same time, there’s something comforting returning to this game from time to time as it sparks a positive memory despite the sadness.

Both peaceful and frustrating at once

I prefer puzzle & atmospheric games to those with lots of shooting and gore so I loved the various scenes in this game, which gave me hours of play. Some of the puzzles are maddening, though. I had a hard time with some of them because it was challenging to get the pointer in the correct place and not just mess up my last action, so there tended to be a lot of cussing at the computer on my part. I did ultimately get through the whole game to the end - there have been some other games that I've had to abandon since I just could not get the bloody pointer to do what I wanted it to, and I ended up stuck wherever I happened to be. I am also a big fan of the Myst series, and this had the same feel to it without the time limits on certain puzzles that also made it impossible for my graphics to keep up as I tried to go from scene to scene.
