Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.

A joystick/HOTAS setup works well (I've tried it) as it does with any flight simulator but in this case a gamepad is definitely the best option.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Flying is routine, it requires attention and a little planning from time to time, but I've never had any issues/difficulty completing any mission, and fuel has NEVER been an issue.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Unfortunately, the developer shared that he's not really making enough money on the game to continue developing it, which is a real shame considering he has a solid core mechanics -- he just needs to add the contextual layers.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals and physics are superbly done giving you a real sense of low-G flight while keeping the controls very straight-forward.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
29 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Note that I haven't tried multiplayer, which I hear is a blast.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is really good: it is an ambient track which fits the deepness of the moon environment, in which everithing else is silent.
