What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
There have been many features added that contribute to increased depth of gameplay and replayability even on the same settings.
The visuals and graphics are okay.
Oh, I will also mention that the characters are voiced - and while most of them will not be heard often, your advisor will constantly repeat information straight up from tutorials every time you obtain a new building/colony/extractor in the voice of the most boring professor in the university that puts you to sleep in the first 5 minutes of his lecture - and there is no way to shut him up and make him tell only useful stuff like events or spotted special buildings.
IMO the beautiful graphics, engaging soundtrack, and weirdly interesting units create an immersive game world.
It is not explained in the tutorial and if it wasnt me accidentally pressing the R1 button on my controller, I wouldnt even realize that there is a flow.
The reverse edge of the sword of grind-free zen buildings is that after a while it's just too easy.
Theme by theme

No recurring complaints surfaced in this sample.
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. 2 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
