Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Conversely the graphics are older too (and really more like 8 years), so while still nice, they aren't popping like Cities Skylines that's still under continual development.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Soundtrack is cute, i love listening them.
