I think it may have been the lack of variance in the environments; you can only have so many environments in the same lab, after all. And while the puzzles were fun, none of them really stood out as very difficult or challenging to me, which might be another reason I never got really engaged with it.

There were lots of games this gen that critics loved that I didn't really care for (it seems like 9's and 10's were getting handed out left and right the past 7 or 8 years), and I don't really get why, but, oh well!
You know the lab was maybe half of the game right?
