Well I loved the voice acting!
I've been very happily enjoying all aspects of Aquaria. I'm an old time gamer and I've since added this to my list of classics. It's right up there on my list with The Longest Journey, which has been one of my favorite story and character centric games.
About subtlety and storytelling. I'm a huge fan of the story telling in the tv show Babylon 5. However, a friend of mine, who I consider brilliant and respect greatly thinks the story of B5 is too basic and not very interesting. I completely disagree. I think the story in B5 and Aquaria are similar in the fact it is a mixture of subtleties and feelings you explore and discover using intuition. I'm not explaining this well. I'm just sure there are lots of ideas, feelings, and situations I notice in Aquaria that some others do not. And those things I take away from the game really put the game well above others.
People are just different. Not all have the same perceptions, intuitiveness, and sensibilities. There is no way you can please every personality type out there.
