Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
79 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As well as an easy to understand tutorial that gets you understanding of the games mechanics right off the bat.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Perhaps it was the bright cartoonish graphics, or maybe I was just feeling left out, but whatever it was in December of 2015 I added the game to my Steam library (in retrospect I think that it was probably because it was at this point C&C came out of Early Access and went free to play).
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is great, has a surprising amount of depth, and really scratches that hard to find itch of turn based, tactical, board-based, PC, PVP, that has a thriving community with active and responsive Devs.
