tl;dr: Worth a solid 20 hours of gameplay if you're into city building/management/terraforming games.

It's very pretty, and once you're used to the endless triangles and the art style, everything looks great, whether you're building a green paradise or have had a nuclear meltdown.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Different game modes and a campaign (Which is very good for the current state).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Ambient music tracks create a calm atmosphere while players plan their next development steps, and subtle sound effects highlight the construction of buildings and industrial activity across the planet.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I play this game since 2014 and the developers are very nice and have an open mind for feedback and issues / bugs to fix them.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Added on to how you're making strategic decisions right from the start on what food source/power/goods production/city layout you're going to use, this would make a fantastic multiplayer game, but unfortunately there don't seem to be plans for that.
