Actually, I think nobody will argue that there are two main standarts you rate and adventure game: story and puzzles.

I can't speak for all of AG's reviewers, but when I rate a game I am rating it based on the overall playing experience. That often comes down to whether the story and puzzles were enjoyable, yes. But those two things are not the only two things that make up a good experience.
Obviously, the only person who can tell us exactly why she rated the game 4.5 stars is Kim herself. But I think you're misunderstanding the way AG ranks games. Please take another look at our
editorial policies. Nowhere do we claim to be ranking games based on story and puzzles. The stars are simply meant to represent whether or not the reviewer (as a fan of adventure games) recommends it to other fans of adventure games. When Kim gives Samorost 2 4.5 stars, she's essentially saying, "This is a really great little game, and for $10 you won't be disappointed." What's wrong with that?
