Puzzles were diverse, fairly original, and of moderate to easy difficulty, but not boring, and most felt well-integrated and relevant to the game - i.e. would not be the basis of a completely stand-alone puzzle.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

The atmosphere is meticulously crafted, with sound effects and music that enhance the immersion.
