13 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
The writing is hilarious and it's super fun to go through all the dialogue sequences with all races.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
My younger siblings and I used to spend hours battling each other in melee mode, and I have always enjoyed the witty dialogue options when speaking to other characters.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
8 of 42 sampled reviews raised it
Thankfully though, only a handful of tracks really do reach that level as some of the music tracks do really kick some ass - I'd say the Vux, Mycon, Chmmr, and a few of the exploration tracks in particular really kickass and some are very fitting for some diplomatic exchanges like the Doogs, Exquivan and Ploxis tracks.
