Gameplay

127 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
it's actually a really fun and endearing exploration and story focused game, genuinely. with and without mods. could not recommend it more.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
While the general premise of the game sounds like a generic sci-fi plot where you're the hero that needs to save the world, other parts of it are great.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A story about an ancient conflict, mysteries lost in space, several easter eggs to sci-fi and space themed media from the 80s, a charming soundtrack, and worlds ranging from wonderful and fantastical to weird or scary.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The initial learning curve is much higher, and it lacks some of the nifty weapons, but it makes up for this with having your own ship, the interplanetary exploration mechanic, better difficulty curve, and the sheer amount of variation.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Between the endless exploration, enjoyable story, great co-op, and one of the best modding communities around, it remains one of the games I have spent the most time with and one that I still enjoy returning to.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style, the music, the freedom to build and explore at your own pace, it all comes together into something that feels personal.
