It's a rhetorical question. The sad part is, there are some really beautiful puzzles in here. I'm not going to talk about them, because I've filled up this review with ranting. Sadder, many of the very bad puzzles are good puzzle ideas , implemented very badly. And the integration is great.
Every puzzle is there for a reason.
Everything makes sense in the context of the situation. Nothing was added because the ship's designer was a mad genius with a penchant for puzzles. End of compliment. There's a plot. It's a fairly entertaining story as you learn it, but there's not really that much of it, and it doesn't have anything to do with you.
