Not too hard to get the mechanics down and you definitely don't need to be an expert in chemistry to enjoy it.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If anything, the (relative) ease of coming up with *something*, *anything* as long as it gets the job done is more than offset by a much increased difficulty in optimizing a solution.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
All emitters work at the same time, so multitasking is key if you want good optimization scores.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Although I eventually grew to enjoy the game's bleak and detached art style - especially the ambient soundtrack with its peculiar mix of coldness, unease and futuristic marvel deserves a mention - the gameplay became so tedious around the final level tiers that I'm not sure if I want to finish the main campaign.
