The mood, place, and presentation carry a lot of the experience.

Steam review snapshots

Another small critique is that a couple of the more interesting looking areas to explore are actually outside of the map, so…
Exploration
The flying mechanic takes some getting used to, as I'm used to playing with inverted controls — so cue lots of me…
Buggy
I've also tried playing with keyboard and mouse, which was a little smoother before I got the hang of it on controller.
