Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Unlike some other building games(LOOKING AT YOU, PLANET CRAFTER), the FPS doesn't get stupid if you build a lot of things, and the lighting and build engine generally work great.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
On the bright side, multiplayer seems... functional... ish?

Controls

Not to mention the half assed controller support.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
I'm sure it could be optimized much faster than my approach, but it also never necessitated any investment in learning or developing these pipeline mechanics.

I liked the game so much I purchased it the following day for a friend so we can try it in co-op.
