Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay loop is based on altering tiles to build habitats for animals based on their certain terrain/object needs, and it's very rewarding to get into the minutiae of tailoring every tile to fit as many animals as possible in one area.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The graphics, much like Corekeeper and Stardew Valley, we found to be easy on the eyes, which is great for me since I have a seizure disorder with a few triggers and him because he's nearly blind in one eye.
