While the graphics, artistry and atmosphere is all on point and great, this game feels like it focused so much on all those things that it forgot to be an actually fun game, either that or it felt like it needed to pad out its run time for some reason

i say that because 90% of this game is just tedious puzzles that feel like busy work, and just parts that feel pointlessly redundant for the sake of wasting the players time, i honestly dont understand how this game was critically acclaimmed when it launched, do game critics just look at a pretty artsy game and think they have to immediatly throw a 10 at it without thinking about if it was an enjoyable or thought provoking experience? i wanna like this game and at times i do but that felt like 1/4 of my playthrough, very dissapointing
