I would like to see some examples to back up your discussion. This review spends almost its entirety outlining what the game is about, then throws a few quick adjectives at me near the end and then it's done.
What makes the humor "dark, yet quirky"? How is the gameplay "solid and easy to get the hang of, but difficult to master"? Those platitudes and the others you offer sound nice enough, but you haven't really given me any reason to believe them or to understand the game on a level that might tell me whether I might react similarly if I were to play it myself.

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world
