![]() I’d also like to highlight the great simplicity of the controls. I really wouldn’t have minded seeing even more of them pop up. It gives some refreshment throughout the game and also something new to learn. They all tend to operate differently from each other as well so that there aren’t any repeats. They’re extremely fresh and help in mixing up the gameplay a bit. My favorite aspect of the game though has to be its puzzles.
