Test in German, 76%.
Short summary: Nice atmosphere, many crazy ideas, great music, but puzzles are very simple, the story is quite short, and a lot of characters are not that interesting or unimportant.
Even shorter summary: Nice, but not great.
I think basically, this test reiterates the opinions voiced in this thread; the main difference in perception seems to arise from the fact that people value the various aspects differently.
Since I did not back the game (and won't buy it for now), I can only comment on the graphics. While I do like some cartoony styles (for example, I think Bastion looks great and I also liked the style of the MI2 special edition), I'm not a great fan of the "childrens' book" style of DF.
