Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Research trees aren't bad, they do make for some good progression, and this one did in fact make some sense.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Like I said more detailed progression due to steam workshop as "user made campaign" which could feature stuff like 1st gen thermals, 2nd gen thermals, 3rd gen thermals and these would be gradually unlocked, not 8K resolution at once, of course this is more hard or even hardcore but still.
