Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Some puzzles, like the matchboxes in the 2nd area, ramp up in difficulty (in the sense of finding the angle in which to see both boxes), and the logic grids' rules and symbols you can unlock make them pretty fun and diverse (in the sense that the approach in logic changes).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are really good: The structures are divided into themes, and the fantastical feeling of floating islands and the mix of a type of architecture from one country with the type of flora or natural phenomenon from another make for some really good ideas.
