Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
(+) Whereas Fate of Atlantis excels in story and Emperor's Tomb in gameplay, this one has, to this day (or at least until before Great Circle's release), the best exploration in an IJ game; featuring expansive and varied locations from all over the globe to traverse on slow and methodic platforming.

Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
Warning the save menu on proton has serious problems due to using windows dialog, Its suggested to just use quick save by default (F5 save, F8 Load) although this is not a perfect fix it is a valid work around 90% of the time.
