12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
No forced combat isn't bad either, I fully admit I'm a filthy casual who always has the Biters switched off.

10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design complements the visual experience with ambient noises that capture the alien world’s atmosphere—wind rustling through strange foliage, distant animal calls, and the hum of machinery in your base.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
That said, it plays quite well on Steam Deck and the touchscreen actually can help you overcome some of the glitchy issues with the drone.
