Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay itself is fine — nothing offensively bad, but also nothing that felt new or exciting.
21 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This "game," a theme park simulator where we display the repulsive human creatures for the enjoyment of our superior Martian citizens, has been a curious diversion on our quest for cosmic domination.
15 of 191 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
It is a spectacle worthy of our great civilization, and the game’s visuals—the garish rides, the pathetic Earthling enclosures—are quite bright and shiny, almost as pleasing as a newly detonated monument.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
I feel like I have to constantly go from menu to menu just to place multiple items.
