Well-executed polygonal visual
Heavy and tragic visual/sound atmosphere that accurately captures the spirit of the game.
Well thought out puzzles
Great use of the DualSense (vibrations, color LEDs)
50 levels divided into 13 chapters.

Engaging story at the beginning, but not very clear towards the end. Perspective issues that cause some difficulties in terms of gameplay mechanics. Hard to know what to do in certain places. Some minor bugs here and there. Price is a bit high compared to the overall duration/quality of the game.

Many visually striking sequences. A few ingenious concepts. An ending worthy of the genre.
Too many frustrating or inaccurate sections. It's better when you just have to walk. Abruptly abandons the family drama in favour of some (albeit great) barmy sci-fi stuff. Several technical issues.

At times, the scene of the invasion of an undefined alien enemy creates beautiful images of destruction.
Often, we spend more time guessing what the creator had in mind and less with the riddle itself.
Problematic, technical and visual visual field.
