I'm new to this genre but I didn't expect that much animated scenes. The story is interesting and well laid out. I had 1 or 2 bugs with the voices not playing back in the cut scenes.

The puzzles have the right amount of difficulty and the story brings everthing to life. My recommendation is to read the books in the library, so you get deeper into the story. The puzzles are very diverse and offer a lot of mechanical stuff to activate and play with. I fell through the world once but other than that the gameplay is pretty robust. I would love to customize the controls, so you could look around without holding down the right mouse button. If you're stuck somewhere the game offers a lot of hints and will point you at the right direction using a funny written walkthrough-like help.

The controls are fine because you'll learn them one by one. After not playing for some time, I needed to get back into it for a few minutes. I liked the beginning very much, but then at some point it seemed a bit stretched. I stopped playing because I could not get passed a room because there were to many enemies. But I'm only a casual player. Graphics are absolutely amazing, the story and sound are okay. But I liked the (german) voice actors very much.

This is just an amzing game. Nice graphics, puzzles, machines, and action. I recommend playing it with a gamepad (I used the PS3 Controller).
