What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
But I was pleasantly surprised by some of the menu graphics and animations.
I only played against the AI, so I can't speak to the stability of multiplayer, matchmaking, etc.
My thoughts on the Ark Nova Early Access release so far: Overall, the UI is wonderful, making the gameplay much smoother and faster than the board game.
The graphics are prettier than I was expecting.
-Relaxing soundtrack
- When enabling controller support, it works generally well, except for navigating buttons.

Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
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. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
