3 well balance factions with very different playstyles and interesting mechanics such as artifacts and unique planet bonuses keep things from being too familiar each match, especially if its a team based thing.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

I can become familiar with 1 method of play or many. the difficulty has been clearly balanced.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.

The art style is cool, but don't expect to be playing this game for a story or to be invested in the lore, as I think it stands out as just being a good space sandbox where you can conquer a 4X galaxy a bunch of different ways.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
5 of 160 sampled reviews raised it
There's no campaign here at all, and u can really tell that a lot of love and effort went into creating a really awesome PVE and PVP environment for the game.
