I really love this game and the series as a whole but ultimately it feels like a glorified riddle book with some adventure game elements sprinkled on. Very, very few of the game's puzzles have any actual connection with the game itself and outside of their difficulty relative to how far into the game you are most puzzles could be swapped with one another and none would be the wiser. There's unfortunately such a drastic separation between the game's world and the puzzles within and I can only imagine how wonderful a game like this could have been had more thought and planning went into properly marrying the two concepts.

Thankfully the story and characters are charming enough that it's most certainly worth your time, but sadly this disconnect of the game and its puzzles remains an issue throughout the entire series.
