Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The game does not punish you and does not require a guide for progression.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
There is this early 2000s theme that really comforts me because it feels like I'm playing dwarf fortress (although very different game), I think some interface in the game can be optimized (like maybe a separate window for when I wanna look at my inventory/player market).

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It is pretty simple, the graphics are very basic, and the tutorial leaves a lot unanswered (though you may not know it until later and will never be told except by asking chat or looking up external info).
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Imagine if any other game flat out expected you to play 48 hours before you could use its multiplayer effectively.
10 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Geographic advantages influence decisions from the opening moments of a campaign, encouraging adaptation instead of rigid optimization.
