The map and the expansion process are quite static, but with the way it was put together its like a little story adventure and they could make literally millions of maps for this game, and i think they should :) The save system is great, as you always just pick up where you left off without even having to click save, even after a power outage or three ..... :(
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
21 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Very low learning curve and easy enough interfaces to stop even the most novice of player from getting lost.
Interface

The interface makes this process intuitive; players simply drag and drop settlers onto their chosen workstations, and tasks begin immediately.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack, a collection of gentle melodies and ambient environmental sounds, complements the tone perfectly—never intrusive, but always pleasant enough to fill the silence as you plan your next expansion.
