What players think
The recurring themes across 100 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
This was explained to me by the dev as a story-driven, more casual ONI-insiped game (Oxygen Not Included).
If you're a noob to this genre (like me), I got to use the new 'relaxed' difficulty mode.
Although it takes a second to wrap your head around the different scientific and tech jargon, I ended up grasping what I was supposed to do fairly intuitively, and it's clear that there's a lot of gameplay that can come out of just this early access version.
The art style is wonderful.
The atmosphere and soundtrack are fantastic, and digging holes to find materials is always satisfying.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
No themes split opinion in this sample.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
