+Sound design (the weapons and explosions are realy deep and sound super good)

8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is so much to love about this game: it faithfully sticks to the FTL formula, it adds depth in places that FTL was light (crew skills, faster combat, store inventory changes, etc).
