Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
90 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This means the game is finely tuned for whatever mood you are and because of how it's structured to allow replayability at most you have a something to play for years to come.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
But exactly these limits enable the great complexity and high skill ceiling of this game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics are good, interface is slick and responsive, with no bugs that I can see.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I like the theme (who WOULDN'T want to build a glorious interstellar trade empire!?) and it's got nice graphics and sound effects.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Absolutely fantastic for quick (a few hours at most if you're trying for high score on tough, otherwise more like 30-60 mins) sessions of intense puzzling / optimization.
