Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There's meta progression, a story that had me far more interested than I would have expected and some solid biome variety along the way.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects are like constant dopamine hits (bing-bing-bing-bing! of pick-ups), and combined with the beautiful dig world just creates an amazing atmosphere I couldn't get enough of.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Slightly repetitive, but I still really enjoyed it in those moments where I just wanted to chill with the Steam Deck and mine some minerals in old-school fashion.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Both of these are pretty effective for getting you moving and getting you out of tough combat situations, but relying on them for basic mobility takes a lot of momentum out of a game that otherwise thrives on it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love the progression, the graphics, the action, the way you are able to customize your ships during gameplay.
