Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
36 of 118 sampled reviews raised it
Most of them are binary "do you have the building/lure that prevents this particular hazard? Yes: Everything is fine; No: You lose the entire zone it happened in." Biodiversity as a mechanic is an excellent way to do progression.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
20 of 118 sampled reviews raised it
It's a good looking game, I like the narrative, graphics, and the idea of restoration is fun.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 118 sampled reviews raised it
But it is a nice story that is fun to play through and the mechanics probably would get repetitive but are interesting the first time you learn them, so you'd enjoy this if you think of it as more of a one-run story puzzle game than a strategy game and that's something you're looking for.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
4 of 118 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is lovely, the graphics and characters are lovely, and I like that as you progress there are challenges in the balanced or challenging modes.
