Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
37 of 192 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is fun, but while I can easily see it being incredibly addictive to some and giving them dozens of hours of play in survival mode, reaching personal bests, it's something I beat (the campaign), it entertained me for a few hours, but I don't see myself replaying it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
19 of 192 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics are nice too and add some excellent icing to this cake.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
16 of 192 sampled reviews raised it
The learning curve is very well done which is good as there is only one difficulty setting.
