Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The equipment drop rate and blueprint requirements are tuned in a way that often forces players to make do with what they have rather than ignore crafting opportunities and hold out for what they'd prefer, prompting exploration and discovery of gameplay outside players' comfort zones.
33 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
The setting is post-apocalyptic, but the art and graphics are all very pastel and cheery.
26 of 136 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
All of the game's sound effects feel synthetic and processed, giving a constructed, mechanical vibe that is echoed by the visual style of the non-cavern environments.

Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
It all started with Descent, which was this FPS/space sim hybrid thing that would create and solidify an entire genre of games known as 6DOF shooters.

Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
I cannot recommend this game, despite my real interest in seeing another 6DOF success, especially with the solid linux support given in the forum.
