Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Good game & motivating main game loop ("just send a research team to one more planet.."), motivating mix of base building and strategic expansion.
35 of 238 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Cool abilities when they level up or even sound effects to immerse yourself better?
5 of 238 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
The game feels poorly optimized, I have a new machine that runs almost all games on ultra without issue, but this game chugs and gets consistently framey after mid-game, without putting any demand on my machine.
