Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Its gameplay mechanics are quite unique, it's mindboggingly challenging at times, it can be played in nice bite-sized "coffee break" chunks (every room is standalone and the game saves at every single move), and it even has some interesting worldbuilding, characters, and lore underneath all of that, which gains depth with each title (main DLC) in the series.
