This is not my kind of game, but it's still one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. Perhaps the most impressive feature was one I stumbled upon by mistake. Pop-up windows, which are convenient if you're just doing that task, can also be moved around for when you're doing something else.
The tutorial is extremely complete. It explains each step with an animated tutorial that doesn't take over or block the remaining UI. Blocking out the UI makes things easier to see, but it also makes them easier to forget. This tutorial was handled extremely well in every way.
The graphics are impressive without feeling like they cause any lag. Everything is optimized effectively. Even the biggest mishaps are handled well to avoid losing the effect. The transition from recorded animation to dynamic content is seamless and makes it nearly impossible to tell them apart.
The controls feel complex, but they fit into the UI in a way that leaves plenty of room for action. All menus and UI components are crisp and have animations that make them look modern. The mechanics are fairly easy to understand with little explanation, but the game has a lot of depth.
