Gameplay

You can remap keys, but virtually everything is already hotkeyed and everything is important because of the general double-layer of gameplay (ship flying, and tactical/RTS layer).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
89 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Ship combat at corvette level and below is fun and exciting, with a good choice of ships.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When you have several fleets fighting battles on various fronts as you expand your control, and of course the events that occur during the single player story which has really come into its own as a very good experience so far.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Unique graphics approach, similar to the first Void Destroyer but a little more refined and colorful.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Honestly, it did a better job telling the story than X4 (much as I love that franchise) even without voice acting.
