Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
51 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
With a good amount of choices for parts and about a dozen or two different qualities for each part, the level of customization is vast.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
32 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
One of the things I like about BossConstructor is it automatically assigns controls for movement, weapons etc. for you when you build a ship.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
16 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
The user-interface is laid out nicely, nothing is too cluttered and the menus are easy to read and navigate through.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
5 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
More Control Options than Buttons on Controllers (I am sure the expected interface with the game is via keyboard and mouse, but the use of a controller is a very nice option when wanting to play casually, and it feels limited when you have to choose what abilities you want to have access to if using the controller.)

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
5 of 170 sampled reviews raised it
Although the visuals are somewhat generic, they get the job done while looking very nice in the process.
