Endless clicking to mediocre graphics. Nonsense dialogue that is hard to follow because it is split up in a couple of words each. At this point, just make a movie.
The game has a fantastic artstyle and I love the Sci-Fi setting. At the beginning I was motivated to explore this strange world, but it became apparent quickly that the gameplay doesn't quite match the aesthetics. The first and one of the biggest issue is the walking/running speed. The character walks at a snails pace and this is way to slow. There is running and you can turn it always on. The running speed feels more like normal walking speed in other games but it is still too slow. This is a big issue because the puzzles are spread out all over the world, i.e. one button there, a panel here etc., meaning you will walk A LOT. And the world isn't even that big, but the walking speed pads the game time unnecessarily. About 95% of the time you will be walking from puzzle to puzzle even if you just want to try something. Maybe superbrains will know where to walk next without detours, but most people won't. Another really aggravating technical reason that will increase the play time unneccessarily is the loading. There is a mechanic where you travel from one area to another back and forth because puzzles are spread over these areas. Since they are completely different, the game loads the other area and this feels like it takes ages. It seriously disrupts puzzle solving. And I have a fast SSD and all game load fast. This is extremely bad game design. Overall I didn't feel it was worth my time walking around and loading areas in the game while occasionally trying to solve puzzles. I used a walkthrough after about 1/3 of the game and don't regret it. Even with the walkthrough, the game felt tedious and too drawn out due to the problems above. I also didn't care too much about the story, Other issues: The game doesn't remember the language setting. It has to be set again every start of the game. The inverted y-axis works only in free roam mode and is otherwise not handled correctly. Once you are in a vehicle or in a puzzle, it is the wrong way.
