I didn't mind the controls, they were somewhat clunky but fine once you got used to them.
The game suffered imo because the puzzles had nothing to do with the story. They felt arbitrary and disconnected from the world, unlike the puzzles in Myst. Solving them never felt very intriguing, I was motivated to solve them just because that's what you have to do to finish the game, rather than motivated to solve them because they were interesting.
