Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I enjoy the teraforming, lighting, pathway building (FTMP ;)), and of course building rides and environments.
33 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Ignoring the problems with pathing and pool creation (which is definitely a skill issue on my end but one I feel like should be resolved over four hours of gameplay) the game is a lot of fun!

Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
I think it's too easy to make money after you built 5 attractions.
