Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
From a gameplay perspective, there is some complexity involved in mechanical interactions between characters and optimization during team building, but because almost all of the content in the game is very easy you don't really need to engage with any of it unless you're tackling high difficulty modes that release with new story chapters and side stories.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
As for the graphics and cinematic, it's decent with the low requirement, I'm able to play both at minimum and maximum settings, there is no stutter, smooth, and the cinematic are great!

With the help of great soundtrack (Some of them even revisits the GFL1 soundtracks!)

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
All new commanders have the opportunity to obtain a previously released skin of their choice with a selector card (don't forget to check your inventory for it, it expires eventually if not used).
