Could it be, that the problem is, that you used the hint system way to often and never learned how the game worked? If you play awesome puzzle game The Witness you can use a online guide for the puzzles, but then you miss totally, what this game is about. You need to learn the puzzle mechanics. It's the same about Point'n'Click adventures. I think there are some difficult puzzles, but it's always logical.
But I can understand, if you review a game, you don't have enough time to really look for solutions. But that's what games in this genre are about. Searching for solutions and clever combining and being rewarded with more parts of the story. The hint system is a nice addon, if you are really stuck.
That they didn't offer touch controls is a bit sad, but on the other hand you get a full price game for a low price. Including touch controls, that would just work if you play in handheld mode, would mean more development time for the console version and higher price.
This game is really awesome regarding the style, the story and the characters. It's a perfect fit in the time where we are living as it got a serious background, about an event we all should never forget. The grade and your conclusion sounding too harsh for me.
