Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
54 of 201 sampled reviews raised it
I tryed it, it's fun) It seems to have much more mechanics than Terraria (not sure if more than Starbound yet) and I'm eager to turn into a sandworm)
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 201 sampled reviews raised it
BUT it does have some cool ideas around monster capturing/raising and using them for combat, animal rearing, or as mounts.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 201 sampled reviews raised it
This game has things going for it, art style is nice, music is nice, the pet thingy is interesting --- but the UI is just frustrating to navigate, tooltips on some things are missing (like I'm crafting something, an item is greyed out and I'm like "what this" -- the game doesn't tell me, feels like I'm playing Minecraft Alpha 1 back in 2009).
