Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
There's a nice, calming soundtrack, which grows with each of the three gameplay-relevant DLCs (the Wingspan Asia music straddles the line between calming and cinematic, but it's still nice).
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
I’m sure this game has some good replayability as there is an online multiplayer component.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Stellar soundtrack and enjoyable cozy art style.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
The failure to use a sensible windowed interface means that cards are often overlaid by action dialogues where you cannot review the card hidden card details to make the best decision.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
There is occasional voice acting when you play a new bird that gives you a quick sentence or two factoid about the bird.

Servers and matchmaking
Players who bring up Servers and matchmaking mostly praise it.
I really really love this board game and I really wanted to also like the PC version of it, but a large amount of small UI oddities combined with a very easy to beat AI and a somewhat odd matchmaking system make the game so much less enjoyable that I can't in good faith recommend it.
